Production

The film documents the experiences of the comfort women who were enslaved by the Japanese military in stations across Asia during World War II.

It provides a historical investigation along with interviews with five victims, Jan Ruff O'Herne (Holland), Felicidad de los Reyes (Philippines), Pilar Frias (Philippines), Wei Shao Lan (China) and Lee Soo-san (Korea), who reveal their experiences as survivors of the estimated 200,000 sex slaves from 13 different countries (Korea, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, East Timor and Holland) used by the Japanese military during World War II.[1][7][8][9]

gollark: No, it's definitely the APIs' fault for making no sense for UDP.
gollark: `tcpdump` showed that there weren't even any packets on my ethernet interface, so WHO EVEN KNOWS.
gollark: Or, well, responded to packets sent using `socat` locally fine but not remote ones.
gollark: Anyway, things confusongly failed with useless output like "OS error 22" and when I randomly reordered the socket setup calls to fix it, it *appeared* to work but did nothing.
gollark: I have my reasons.
