The HGSA will be hosting a campus-wide film screening of Shusenjo: The Main Battleground of the Comfort Women Issue on Tuesday, April 16, at 4:30 p.m. in CUE 203 on the Pullman campus. Shusenjo is a documentary that explores the controversy over the “comfort women” issue, i.e., the young women and girls forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese military during World War II. The film incorporates a broad range of perspectives, including denialists, activists, historians, and human rights lawyers from Japan, Korea, and the U.S., and examines crucial themes of human rights, gender inequality, as well as the trauma of sexual violence.
The film will last for around two hours and will be followed by a virtual Q&A session with director Miki Dezaki (in CUE 114).
