Japanese farmer vows to stay on ancestral land in middle of Narita airport

Takao Shito, a 73-year-old Japanese Farmer, has vowed to stay on his ancestral land in the middle of Narita Airport, despite the noise and pollution caused by the planes. His family has leased the land for generations, and one of the airport's runways had to be built around it. The construction of Narita airport in the 1960s led to violent protests from local farmers, making it the longest-running social movement in Japanese history. Shito's commitment to his cause has strained relationships in his community, but he remains adamant about staying on his ancestral land.
