Behind Forgotten Eyes

Behind Forgotten Eyes examines the enduring legacy of a horrifying chapter of history in both Korea and Japan. The first English-language film to tackle this volatile issue, the work aims to focus the world’s attention on this unsettled aspect of Japan’s colonial heritage and to educate an American public unfamiliar with East Asian history and modern society. Combining expert testimony with firsthand accounts from both Korean women and Japanese soldiers who lived through the nightmare, the film offers a candid look into an issue that has been ignored for far too long.
