Megumi on ‘Fujiko,’ Japan’s Cannes Moment and Being Actor-Producer

Japanese actor-producer Megumi's drama "Fujiko," which she spent four years developing and starring in, won the Golden Mulberry Audience Award at Italy's Far East Film Festival in Udine. The film follows a single mother in 1970s Shizuoka and was inspired by Megumi's mission to empower Japanese women through cinema, citing Japan's low female self-esteem rankings globally.
