BBC to air Oscar-nominated movie with near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes rating

BBG News

It’s great to use February as a chance to watch all the movies contending for the Oscars. To start, the BBC will broadcast the highly-praised documentary titled “Black Box Diaries“.

Directed and created by Shiori Ito, this documentary chronicles the investigative journey of a journalist, delving into her own case of sexual assault in 2015. The broadcast is scheduled for BBC Four at 10pm on February 4th, with the option to rewatch it on iPlayer afterward.

As a fervent admirer, I can tell you that my captivation lies in the tale spun by Itō herself in her 2017 memoir, “Black Box Diaries.” This gripping narrative recounts my personal journey for justice, triggered when I managed to unmask Noriyuki Yamaguchi, the head of Tokyo Broadcasting System, as my attacker.

In this logline, we see how Shiori’s journey transforms into a groundbreaking case in Japan by unveiling through concealed recordings and personal video footage the antiquated legal and social structures that persist within the country.

2024 saw the debut of the movie at the Sundance Film Festival, followed by screenings at SXSW. Later in October of the previous year, it was launched in both the US and UK markets, receiving favorable critiques and a 98% “Certified Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Among the nominated documents for the prestigious Oscar in March, alongside “No Other Land,” “The Porcelain War,” “Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat,” and “Sugarcane” are also included.

The series “Black Box Diaries” is broadcast on BBC Storyville, a platform that showcases acclaimed documentaries. Other titles in this collection include “Your Friend with the Big Belly”, “Life Within the San Quentin Prison Marathon”, and “The Struggle for Laikipia”.

The show “Black Box Diaries” is scheduled to air on BBC Four on February 4. It’ll be accessible for streaming on iPlayer not long after it’s aired.
