One recent video documentary that touches on the issue of Japanese 
colonization of Korea is _The Hidden Truth: The Records of Korean B- and 
C-Class War Criminals_.  While it focuses more on the war criminals than 
on colonization, it definitely makes a point that their status in the 
Japanese Army was a product of colonial policy.

The film was made by students at the Japan Academy of Moving Images and 
has shown at Yamagata and other international film festivals (there is an 
English subtitled copy).  You can contact the director Motohashi Yusuke
