The Apology (2008)

I am a documentary junkie and know a well told story when I see one.The director Tiffany Hsiung has done a fantastic job to delicately tell the stories of these brave women and of the horrible atrocities committed by the Japanese military during the war against them and countless women just like them.

I was accidentally drawn into this story, rife with compelling and fascinating characters, and then realized the subject matter at hand and was completely riveted. This is a subject that most people are probably not familiar with, yet the people in the story are so relate-able, and marvelously captured, it makes the matter of the 'apology' most impactful.

I found the film well produced, engaging, and moving. It's pathetic that these elderly women have to ask for an apology.
