What do you think of Taka and Mana?

As an aside, a few days ago I posted a video about Taka and Mana. I didn’t say much about it in that previous post or ask your opinions so I wanted to talk about it again. Taka and Mana are two young children who were abducted by their Japanese mother from their Canadian father.
Basically, under Japanese law there is little recourse in these disputes for the non-Japanese parent. Japan is one of the few major countries where this is the case. From what I have gathered, even in a normal divorce/custody battle (w/o an abduction), custody is given exclusively to the Japanese parent. Taka and Mana’s father is making a documentary about the issue and there is an article with more details on Debito.org.
Here is the trailer to the documentary:
