The release of the film was blocked, but Fighting Soldiers was later celebrated as one of the masterpieces of Japanese documentary. After making a film about the poet Kobayashi Issa, Kamei was the only Japanese film director arrested for violation of the Peace Preservation Law and became the first filmmaker to lose his license to direct under the 1939 Film Law. After World War II, he resumed filmmaking with The Japanese Tragedy (Nihon no higeki), a film produced at Nichiei by Akira Iwasaki, which charged Japanese leaders with responsibility for pursuing a disastrous war. The film, however, was eventually banned by Occupation authorities in particular for its critical depiction of Emperor Hirohito. Kamei thus had films banned by both the Japanese government and the American Occupation forces. Kamei also made fiction films such as War and Peace (Sensō to heiwa), co-directed with Satsuo Yamamoto, but he primarily continued to produce independent documentaries protesting such issues as American bases in Japan, the nuclear bomb, discrimination against burakumin in Japan, and environmental destruction.
