Abstract:

"Examines the frustrations of Americans trying to understand and cope with Japanese society. For example, on the baseball field, unwritten rules suddenly change when the Japanese feel a player is hitting too many home runs. But in other areas, such as the business world, the Japanese play to win at all costs. Provides an intimate and perceptive look at Japanese society through the eyes of Americans who live and work there. Written and directed by Ofra Bikel for PBS Frontline series." (PBS Video)
