Review by Leonard Schoppa

A great review of CAMPAIGN (SENKYO) appeared on Winter 2008 issue of Newsletter from Asian Educational Media Service. It is written by Leonard Schoppa, professor of politics at the University of Virginia. Here are some of the quotes from the review:

"the documentary does an excellent job of drawing viewers into the story and the experience of campaigning in Japan by inviting
them to relate to the campaign from Yamauchi’s own perspective."

"The documentary is full of scenes that will help students in classes on Japanese politics, Japanese culture and society, or broader comparative politics classes that include a section on Japan, gain a better understanding of what politics there is really like."
