This film documents a large-scale event
organized by the Utagoe (Singing Voice) working class choral and musical movement
that took place over the course of three days in Tokyo on November 27, 1954 at Kyoritsu
Auditorium and Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium. Tens of thousands of people from
factories and farming villages across Japan take part. Folk songs from different local
regions of Japan are sung and laborer choruses perform. Choruses and songs and dances
from Korea and China are heard. The finale is a mass choral performance of “The Unforgivable Atom Bomb.”
