Kodokushi is a shocking phenomenon in Japan. This is the name given to people who died alone and unknown. Literally translated from Japanese, kodokushi means ’lonely death’. Many elderly people in the country live out their lives away from loved ones. Children do not come to them and do not call. They learn about the death of their parents from volunteers or neighbors, and then only a few months later. Our video and Artyom Somov’s film ’Dying Alone’ (2019) examine this problem. #Japan FOLLOW ? News&Docfilms Channel Source: RT Documentary
