SPPED TRIBES - DAYS AND NIGHTS WITH JAPAN
Speed Tribe is a grippingly fresh portrait of an unseen country. Mr Greenfeld's Japan is an underclass of sorts, an underclass not always represented by wealth or lack of it, but more of spirit or direction. It's a collection of ne'er-do-well youth...who have been sucked, pushed or drawn into the more marginal circles of Japanese society.
