“Shusenjo”: The Main Battleground of the “Comfort Women” Issue

“Shusenjo: The Main Battleground of the Comfort Women Issue,” dives deep into the hotly debated questions relating to the “Comfort Women” issue, such as: Were the comfort women “sexual slaves” or prostitutes? Were they coercively recruited or willing volunteers? Were there really 200,000 comfort women? And, does Japan have a legal responsibility to apologize?

Miki Dezaki, a Japanese American YouTuber and a recent graduate of the Graduate Program in Global Studies at Sophia University in Tokyo, takes you to a journey to find the answers to these questions.

Please join us for a panel discussion with community organizations, and the screening of the film “Shusenjo”, followed by Q&A with the director Miki Dezaki.

When: October 5, 2019 (5:30pm Panel discussion, 6:30pm Film Screening, 8:30pm Q&A)

Where: Immanuel Presbyterian Church (3300 Wilshire Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90010  Corner of Wilshire and Berendo)
