National Geographic: Inside The Yakuza

Deep inside the forbidden underground of Tokyo’s organized crime, the ominous Yakuza have reigned superior for decades. What’s remarkable is that the Yakuza aren’t just a group of gangsters and thugs who don full body tattoos, they actually stand as a legal entity in Japan and have little to no fear of revealing their identities. Similar to American counterparts, it’s a dirty game of legal business fronts on one hand, and illegal crime syndicates and “protection” rings on the other. National Geographic filmed a compelling documentary on life Inside the Yakuza.
