If You Were Young: Rage (君が若者なら, Kimi ga wakamono nara) is a 1970 Japanese film financed, produced, directed and co-written by Kinji Fukasaku.[1] The film stars Tetsuo Ishidate and Gin Maeda as a pair of Tokyo day laborers who along with three other friends pool their money together to buy a dump truck, which they dub "Independence No. 1".[2] The film was, for a time, thought to be lost.[3]
