June Bride: Redemption of a Yakuza

A Criminally Inspirational Story

JUNE BRIDE: REDEMPTION OF A YAKUZA is a feature-length documentary about Tatsuya Shindo, a former mobster turned preacher and his rundown church, at one time a smoke-filled bar, where ex-convicts and outsiders congregate to start over. It is a hard-hitting story of an underdog's journey from the criminal underworld to a mission from God. This is no ordinary gangster story romanticized in Hollywood and Japanese movies. It is a real life story with honest struggles of a man seeking forgiveness for a life's worth of disappointment and crime. 'Loyalty to my yakuza boss is the same as the one to God.' - Tatsuya Shindo
