Nichiren II

In 13th-century Japan, disease, famine, violence, and natural disasters plague society. Samurai lords, blindedby power, shirk any responsibility to protect the citizenry. Religious leaders care more about currying favor withthe powerful than helping common people find hope and a positive way to deal with their suffering. But oneunknown Buddhist monk dares to speak the truth to power, insisting that all human life is precious and that thegovernment needs to change its ways and become of service to the people.
