Vanishing Without a Trace

This documentary uncovers the phenomenon of the johatsu, the tens of thousands of Japanese people who deliberately vanish without a trace every year. It asks what drives them to erase their own lives, from debt and shame to failed relationships, and how they disappear. Through the underbelly of Japanese society, it explores a quiet and unsettling escape. A fascinating watch on Japan, disappearance and the hidden lives of the evaporated.
