    Here it is !! Often referred to on the old forum. I must first apologize if you do not speak Japanese, I still hope the images will leave some impression.

    There is a lot in this documentary which details the true Japanese perception and feeling about the Geesink impact ("Jûdô wa chikare kurabe de wa nai"), the stigma on Kaminaga, and finally Uemura's 1976 gold medal. If you read through the lines you may also understand how Uemura could become kanchô of the Kôdôkan and the historic impact of his 1976 victory finally 'correcting' the disgrace for Japan that had after Geesink had been finalized by Ruska. Then there is of course also Okano's role in there as the 1976 Olympic Team coach (have a look who his 'assistant' is ...), and of course it offers you a look into Uemura's training. This is a documentary to cherish, made before Uemura became Kôdôkan kanchô, excellently made !
