Program Note

The film shatters a half-century of silence for Korean women forced into sexual servitude by the Japanese Imperial Army, during World War II. The women demand justice for the crimes against humanity committed against them, their compelling testimony presented side by side with interviews of Japanese soldiers and recruiters. Some of their stories, portrayed in powerful dramatizations with their own voices flowing under stunning images, echo soulful sorrow and the amazing resilience of the human spirit.
