The long term effects of environmental industrial mercury poisoning on the local population in Minamata, Japan. Taken on the Japanese Island of Kyushu, we see an outwardly healthy mother bathing her fetal-poisoned 16 year old daughter, Tomoko Uemura, grotesquely deformed, physically crippled and blind since birth due to environmental industial mercury poisoning in the local water supply.
