Oscar-Shortlisted ‘Black Box Diaries’ To Make Paramount+ With Showtime Debut In January: Compelling Documentary “Unfolds Like A Thriller”
'Black Box Diaries,' Shiori Itō's Oscar-shortlisted documentary, will debut on the Paramount+ with Showtime streaming platform in January.
“Unfolding like a thriller and combining secret investigative recordings, vérité shooting and emotional first-person video, her quest becomes a landmark case in Japan, exposing the country’s desperately outdated judicial and societal systems.” “As a journalist and as a woman who grew up and lived in Japan so long, it was just a hard realization of how backwards our legal system is and how also at a personal level, how difficult [it was] even to report the case to police,” Itō said in an earlier appearance on the Doc Talk podcast. Oscar-nominated filmmaker Smriti Mundhra ( St. Louis Superman) directed the film that focuses on John Henry Ramirez, a man awaiting execution in Texas after his conviction for murder.
