The unusual short story of a Canadian Judoka Doug Rogers, who developed, in Japan, a talent for Judo that led him into competition for the world championships at the Tokyo Olympics and subsequent competition at the Pan American Games. The short film shows the intensive training he took at a Tokyo college as well as glimpses of his life in Japan while studying with legendary Judoka Kimura Sensei.

Love seeing more visibility for the NFB.
My favourite of theirs is a short documentary on Doug Rogers, the first Canadian to win a medal at the Olympics in judo.
