The women work hard, sleeping only a few hours a night, as they juggle the demands of caring for their children and doing housework — all while suffering from poverty. The award-winning documentary film “The Ones Left Behind,” released last year, tells the story of such single mothers in Japan. Australian filmmaker Rionne McAvoy said Tuesday he wanted to tell a story about “a topic no one else wants to really touch.
