Surveying the cinematic landscape this awards season, one question keeps coming to mind: where are all the white films for white people?

In the days after Shinzo Abe was shot dead last summer while making an election campaign speech, commentators struggled to articulate a motive for a seemingly senseless attack on Japan’s former and longest-serving prime minister in a country admired for its near-absence of gun crime.
