The Wages of Resistance：Narita Stories

In order to relieve Haneda Airport's increasingly unable capacity since the Tokyo Olympics and the outbreak of the Vietnam War, the Japanese government decided to build Narita Airport in the Sanrizuka area in 1966.

As the plane behind them rose and fell, their figures turned into a heavy indictment of state violence.
