SexViolHist Bib: Representations: Films: Spirits' Homecoming

»Spirits' Homecoming is a 2016 South Korean period drama film written and directed by Cho Jung-rae. It was released in South Korea on February 24, 2016. (...)
The film is set during the Japanese occupation of Korea in 1943 telling the story of 14-year old Jung-min and 16-year old Young-hee. Jung-min's family is poor due to frequent warfare but lives happily and peacefully. Young-hee's parents died during the war so she has to take care of her younger brothers. One day, Japanese soldiers forcibly take the two girls from their homes, giving them just minutes to say goodbye and pack their clothes, ship them to Manchuria in wagons for livestock and use them as so called 'comfort women' (pejoratively referred to in South Korea as 'Homecoming Women') forcing them to perform sexual service to the soldiers of the Imperial Army.« -- More information: Wikipedia
