In the heart of Tokyo, two ambitious souls navigate their contrasting paths: Akira Hojo, a formidable leader of an emerging Yakuza clan, and Chiaki Asami, a determined politician hell-bent on becoming the youngest member of Japan's parliament. Though their lives appear worlds apart, Hojo and Asami are united by a haunting past as survivors of the Cambodian Killing Fields. Armed with the fierce survival instincts honed in the treacherous jungles of Cambodia, both are driven by a shared vision: to reshape Japan into a sanctuary that echoes their desires for power and reform. As they maneuver through the gritty underbelly of organized crime and the high-stakes arena of politics, they must confront their traumatic histories and the moral dilemmas that arise. In "Sanctuary" (1995), witness a gripping tale of resilience, ambition, and the quest for redemption, where the lines between right and wrong blur, and the fight for a better future becomes a battle against their own demons. Will they succeed in transforming their country, or will the shadows of their past consume them?
