The 2017 documentary “Twenty Two” chronicled the lives of 22 surviving Chinese “comfort women” – girls, wives, and mothers forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese military during World War II. All of them have since passed away.

The new documentary “Five” continues to explore this history, focusing on the experiences of the five surviving “comfort women” in the Republic of Korea (ROK).

Han Kyung-hee, chair of the Korean Council for Justice and Remembrance, says the absence of victims does not mean this history should be forgotten. The generations that follow must carry their voices forward.
