What happens

est un documentaire français de Yann Le Masson et Bénie Deswarte, sorti en 1973. Dans le Japon des années 70, la modernisation est diversement accueillie. L'implantation d'un énorme complexe sidérurgique et pétrolier Mitsubishi à Kashima est bien acceptée, alors que celle de l'Aéroport international de Narita est fortement rejetée.
