Behind Forgotten Eyes presents the stories of a few brave women who
came forward and broke the silence protecting a past that some want to stay buried. What are these stories that were hidden for so long?
Whilst Korea groaned under the harsh colonial rule of Imperial Japan,
the Japanese military coerced, tricked, and forced the women of Korea
into a brutal and systematic form of sexual slavery on an unimaginable
scale. Behind Forgotten Eyes combines first-hand accounts from both
Korean women and Japanese soldiers who lived through one of the worst atrocities in humankind. This documentary is narrated by actress
Yunjin Kim.
