The Password is Courage

2000 · 1 season

A gentle, earnest small-town drama where quirky villagers and a washed-up actor take on a corporate giant, mixing light comedy with a sincere fight for the land.

Overview
The story takes place in a small rural village surrounded by beautiful nature. However, it is about to be destroyed by a waste disposal plant. Something must be done. The villagers rise up. They get a lawyer from Tokyo to help fight alongside them. Only that he's not a real lawyer but a washed-up actor (Yakusho Kōji), who once played a lawyer on TV.
