A new documentary from Current TV. Unlike some other (let's be honest. MOST other) Japan/robot documentaries, this one focuses on the social conditions leading to the Japan's apparent love of robotics. It sheds something of a harsh, yet realistic view on the state of Japanese society and their labor market, something I am somewhat familiar on indirect level through experiences of those close to me. Only at about twenty or so minutes long, this is a worthy watch, I think.
