This is a
documentary film recording the "struggle (disturbance) at The
University of Tokyo (UTokyo)," speaking briefly "TODAI TOSO" or "UTokyo
Struggle" from 1968 to 1969. At that time, back then, I was a student
at UTokyo.
"TODAI TOSO" makes many Japanese people impressions or images that are
the battle between police force and protesting students at YASUDA KODO
building ("YASUDA KODO BATTLE"), the discontinuance of entrance
examination, and so on.
The essence of "UTokyo Struggle" was not the above images. The
government
as well as mass medias at that time manipulated people and public
opinion.
Basically its root cause was the Authority's unjust expulsions from The
medical school of UTokyo.
It is fatally important that The end of "UTokyo Struggle" was based on
reaching the agreement between the students and the university
authority rather than on result of "YASUDA KODO BATTLE," protesting
students were cleared away from there.
There is a Documentary Film: "Burning Angry Fire"(16mmFilm)
It is an over fifty-year-old film.
