A short film takes us into the lives of former Japanese “salarymen” and others who, because they lost work, have taken refuge in the cramped, bleak cubicles that honeycomb their society’s Internet cafes.

The film was directed by Japanese photojournalist Shiho Fukada in collaboration with MediaStorm and with support from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting. It is part of a trilogy released in spring 2014 titled “Japan’s Disposable Workers.”
