A Compelling and Important Story

This film is based upon a true story. It tells the story of a 1990's very public and very drawn out case by Korean Comfort women against the Japanese Government for atrocities against them during World War II. The film is well made and runs the gamut from heartbreaking to infuriating to uplifting. The film tells the story of a painful time in Far East Asian history from a Korean perspective, and more specifically, from a Korean Woman's perspective. These victimized women were faced with the additional burden of feeling shame over the fact that their service involved involuntary intimacy. This is almost hard to comprehend when watching the film. The Direction, cinematography and acting are superb. The cast is large, but it is filled with talents actors. They do a good job of portraying the Korean comfort women, the Japanese deniers and defenders, and the cast of bureaucrats and court players. This is an important film on many levels. I applaud Well Go USA for distributing it.

Harrowing truth

A story of the Korean comfort women and their struggles to find justice in the Japanese courts in the 1990s. This ripped-from-the-headlines tale is constructed to shine a light on an episode of history shameful to both Korea (the victim) and Japan (the perpetrator) through close realism and heavy emotion. All of the expected Korean melodrama is present here, from hand-wringing to chest-thumping, to breakdowns and death, all played out with a maximum of emotion. It's a tough watch because of the darkness of the material, but as a true story it demands to be told.
