Twilight of the Yakuza

2013 · MA15+ · Crime

The Yakuza, Japan’s organised crime syndicates, are a dying breed. Their members are ageing and the government of Japan has launched a large-scale crackdown to eradicate them once and for all. But who are the Yakuza? The cancer of a nation or a necessary evil in a country with one of the lowest crime rates in the industrialised world?
