:

Humorous and insightful documentary in which Japanese/American filmmaker Kazuhiro Soda follows his friend Yamauchi on the campaign trail. He's been 'parachuted' in to run for the seat and has just six weeks to make an impact on the local city, but his political skills aren't quite up to the task and his political mentors become ever more worried. Things aren't looking great, but then his party leader - Prime Minister Koizumi himself - comes to town to help him out.
