This group is for JET alumni, current JETs, and friends of JETs who are interested in watching and discussing Japanese films. This works like a book club: we watch a film separately, and then get together to discuss. If you can't make the discussion, you can still choose to participate by watching the film and being active in this group.
We will only be selecting films that are widely and inexpensively available for rent, without a subscription required.
