Silence Broken: Korean Comfort Women
Plot: A powerful and emotional documentary about Korean women forced into sexual servitude by the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II, Silence Broken dramatically combines the testimony of former comfort women who demand justice for the "crimes against humanity" committed against them, along with contravening interviews of Japanese soldiers, recruiters and contemporary scholars who deny the existence of comfort women or claim that these victims "did this for money. " In the film, these women demand an official apology, admission of moral as well as legal guilt, and compenstion from the Japanese government
