Watashitachi wa konnani hataraiteiru

The film was produced as a wartime propaganda film under supervision of Imperial Home Office. It illustrates a day of school girls recruited at a clothing factory manufacturing military uniforms. Although the film was completed just 6 months before the end of war, surprisingly it depict girls joyful and full of life, especially scenes capturing the recreational break, this result owes much to the effort of the director Mizuki and the script writer Atsugi rather than the characteristic of the work as a propaganda film. They had collaborated in their previous work, ARU HOBO NO KIROKU (1941) which attained the critical acclaim, and they extended their momentum in this film. Taka Atsugi is one of the pioneers of women participating in the Japanese documentary filmmaking and also renowned for her translation work of Paul Rotha's Documentary Film whose first Japanese edition was published in 1938.
