NHK will air a documentary about Ishimure Michiko (the author and Minamata disease activist who passed away recently) in the early morning hours of Monday the 19th (late night Sunday). If you understand Japanese and would like to learn more about what made this person so famous, you might want to set your recorder or stay up to see it.
