Documentary: Behind Forgotten Eyes March 28, 2009

Bangalore Film Society in collaboration with Break Through TV presents ‘Life on Venus', a selection of the most acclaimed & award winning documentary films on women from across the globe. Synopsis: During WWII, whilst Korea groaned under the harsh colonial rule of Imperial Japan, the Japanese coerced, tricked and forced the women of Korea into a brutal and systematic form of sexual slavery on an unimaginable scale. Behind Forgotten Eyes examines the enduring legacy of this horrifying chapter in East Asian history through interviews with Korean victims and Japanese soldiers as well as academics, social activists and professionals. It is an excellent, unconventional, challenging, shocking, appalling film, using archival footage as well as animation. Directed by Anthony Gilmore. For details contact 9886213516.
