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
