Black Box Diaries
Black Box Diaries is a 2024 documentary film produced and directed by Shiori Itō, documenting her sexual assault investigation and case in Japan.[20][21][22][23] In response, Itō said Nishihiro's accusations contained factual inaccuracies, the detective and the taxi driver could not be reached, and the film had received legal checks in the United States and Japan.The film is made with determination, and, if the message contained there serves the public interest like prevention of sexual crime, it is defensible to decide to show the footage even without permission."[24] Toshihiko Tabuchi, media scholar at J. F. Oberlin University, said, "In American documentary filmmaking, there is propensity to put more emphasis on public interest even when matters such as invasion of privacy are contentious ...The organizer of the event told the newspaper that they authorized Itō to use the footage under the condition that she obtain permission from everyone filmed, but they did not confirm that she indeed did, and they would deliberate whether they too would request the scene be removed.
