The Great Kantō Earthquake of 1923 marked a moment of unprecedented material destruction and cultural rupture in modern Japan. The disaster soon became subject to varying interpretation and political manipulation. The tremors and subsequent fire produced not only physical chaos but also the rumors and violence against Koreans in the Tokyo-Yokohama area, revealing what was fearful and why at the heart of the Japanese Empire. After a century, this film reconstructs the course of the post-quake mayhem against the colonized, and traces the ways in which the history of this genocidal violence has been concealed and revealed, haunting those whose lives were never the same after encountering the forbidden truth. The event will be hosted by Professor Sayaka Chatani (National University of Singapore), featuring a discussion with historian and the film's creative producer Professor Jinhee Lee (Eastern Illinois University), and a comment by Professor Reinhard Zöllner (University of Bonn). The film is in Japanese, Korean, and English with English subtitles.</span></div><div id="Signature" class="elementToProof" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><div style="direction: ltr; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><button disabled="true" class="_at_6 o365button" type="button" style=""><div style="direction: ltr;"></div></button><br></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(187, 0, 0); line-height: 18px;"><b>Robert M.
