The Yakuza, Japan’s organised crime syndicates, are<br />
a dying breed. Their members are aging and the<br />
government of Japan has launched a large-scale crack-<br />
down on them to eradicate them once and for all.<br />
But who are the Yakuza ? Undoubtedly the Yakuza are<br />
involved in crimes including extortion, fraud, murder,<br />
drugs & gambling. However, Japan has one of the<br />
lowest crime rates in the industrialised world, with crimes<br />
related to drugs or street gangs strikingly low, a fact<br />
that many contribute to the presence of the Yakuza.<br />
The Yakuza is a legal, public group making them easy to<br />
check on. Their offices are public, their members<br />
registered by the police and Yakuza members went as far<br />
as freely admitting their guilt in cases of crime investigations,<br />
as a part of their code of honour. In reaction to<br />
strict government measures against them, the Yakuza has<br />
ceased all cooperation with the law. This documentary<br />
deals with the struggle of the Yakuza for its survival.<br />
Furthermore, unprecedented access to the secret world<br />
of the Yakuza gives you an insight on who the Yakuza<br />
really are: criminals, outcasts, but also family men and a<br />
part of Japanese society.<br />

At a football stadium in the very heart of Prague the<br />
biggest Czech football match of the year is about to take<br />
place. The live broadcast begins. This time however,<br />
the twenty-two film cameras are not aimed at the pitch,<br />
but at the stands. They record how various people<br />
experience this one shared event. An astonished kid from<br />
the football prep team, a bettor who has put thousands<br />
of crowns on the match result, or a member of the<br />
security service who is there to assure a smooth running<br />
of the event: they all experience it differently. A distinguished<br />
literary critic, who is not really interested in<br />
football, a lady who takes care of what goes on in the VIP<br />
lounge, or disoriented Italian tourists who just stare<br />
disbelievingly at it all: they each have a different attitude<br />
too. Each camera presents a unique and authentic<br />
insight into the different levels of the stands, as well as<br />
the different levels of today’s society. Each character<br />
represents a unique version of the same match.<br />
