A Japanese #MeToo campaigner¡¯s documentary premiered in her homeland on Friday after months of delays, with one audience member saying she hoped it triggered a change in society.

Shiori Ito won a landmark 2019 civil case against a Japanese TV reporter accused of raping her ¡ª a charge he denies ¡ª and turned her ordeal into a film released last year and screened worldwide.

But some segments of ¡°Black Box Diaries¡± contained video and audio that had been clandestinely shot or meant only for use in court, resulting in its Japan release being significantly delayed.
