In this episode, we explore the way Comfort Women are represented in arts, particularly on screen. We notably use and analyse a striking short film called « Herstory » which assess this issue. We assess how narration and fiction can depict trauma, as well as the Comfort Women legacy. Hope you will enjoy!

I Can Speak - All the episodes

This podcast is about the issue of Comfort Women who were sex slaves used by the Japanese Imperial Army notably during World War II. Throughout our episodes, we will discuss the difficult path for recognition, as survivors try to navigate between silence, amnesia and stigmatisation. We hope that you will enjoy our podcast as much as we enjoyed making it, and that you will learn interesting things about this too unknown issue.
