Ex-Yakuza member now a Christian preacher

Tatsuya Shindo was a member of the Yakuza, a transnational organized crime syndicate originating in Japan. His arm-length tattoos give him away as someone who once belonged to an organized criminal gang. Shindo also did time in prison. But now he's a 53-year-old Christian pastor, who spends time with other former prisoners in a society where redemption and getting a second chance is not easy. The World's Matthew Bell reports from Tokyo.
