Dirty hearts: Japanese immigrants that denied their defeat in WWII

In 1945, the war was over in the Pacific and emperor Hiroito surrended to the Allies. But some Japanese that immigrated to Brazil were certain that their country had won the conflict and the news were mere American propaganda. They created the Shindo Renmei, an organization that hunt and killed fellow Japanese immigrants that didn´t believe in Japan´s fall. Some were hunted down and assassinated – by their own countrymen – causing the start of a new, private war. The story is told in detail in the book “Corações Sujos”, by journalist Fernando Morais. And, now, it is also a film, directed by Vicente Amorim, to be released in Brazil in October. Mostly spoken in Japanese, it is both a thriller and a love story, narrated by the wife of one of the fanatics.

This is the movie´s first teaser:
