[KineJapan] documentaries on the "comfort women"

[Jasper Sharp]

There's been a woman's group quite active in making and promoting such films in Japan, called Video Juku.A number of films made since the 90s are currently available in English versions: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.jca.apc.org_video-2Djuku_index-2Deng.html&d=CwIF-g&c=clK7kQUTWtAVEOVIgvi0NU5BOUHhpN0H8p7CSfnc_gI&r=e7qMG9KFq7WNnPQWULWHJA&m=wdlr9JY0Q4AbFcs1puGs0xbq5tbzkXviIuoZG56R92g&s=jTVl_dIibqfaVl7LsjV3NXCoPhRoF3uy-9Bwarp52fw&e= 
hope this helps,

I’m mentoring a senior who is doing her thesis on Japanese government response to the “comfort women” issue.
Are there documentaries that record the testimony of the (aged) survivors? I’m familiar with Imamura’s KARAYUKI-SAN and with the feature film SANDAKAN #8. But I’d like to learn about more attempts to present the truth of this issue, through Japanese
 (or other) cinema.



Thanks,
