“Princes of the Yen: Central Banks and the Transformation of the Economy” 『円の支配者』reveals how Japanese society was transformed to suit the agenda and desire of powerful interest groups, and how citizens were kept entirely in the dark about this. Based on a book by Professor Richard Werner, a visiting researcher at the Bank of Japan during the 90s crash, during which the stock market dropped by 80% and house prices by up to 84%. The film uncovers the real cause of this extraordinary period in recent Japanese history. “Because only power that is hidden is power that endures.” A film by Michael Oswald Sign up to our newsletter and be the first to hear about upcoming releases and how you can get involved mailchi.mp/d3065996922a/independentpov Music is from Buro: app.bmgproductionmusic.co.uk/carrier/127689 and Antonymes: antonymes.bandcamp.com/ If you like Princes of the Yen support our future documentaries on Patreon: www.patreon.com/independentdocumentary Go Fund Me: www.gofundme.com/f/the-man-who-knew-too-much?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1 Bitcoin: 3M89ao9jf4cc9g68r5nVHLHwztgh88Gy52 Watch our new documentary The Spider's Web: www.youtube.com/watch?v=np_ylvc8Zj8 Translate this film: www.youtube.com/timedtext_video?ref=share&v=p5Ac7ap_MAY Help us spread the word: Rate this film on IMDB: www.imdb.com/title/tt4172710/ Rate it and comment on youtube.
