Film Review: Black Box Diaries
By Matthew Moorcroft Highest Recommendation Directed by Shiori Ito Not Rated CW: Contains frank discussions about sexual assault A documentary 6 years in the making, Black Box Diaries initially functions as a day by day account of Shiori Ito’s fight and case in her own sexual assault, which on it’s own is an impressive feat.…

Film Review: My Dad’s Tapes
