With a tone of regret, this question resonates with attendees, transforming it into a present tense inquiry. The documentary, titled "How Could We Have Done That?" by 후지노 도모아키, captivated audiences in a bustling summer cinema district. Despite being an independent film, it struggled to find an audience.

The film highlights the importance of considering the well-being of both the patient and their family, as well as the need for systemic changes to protect the rights of mental health patients.

The ongoing debate over the mental health care system and the responsibility of family members versus the state continues. As the film concludes, the question remains: how can we change the current system to better support those in need?
