A free screening of “My Heart is Not Broken Yet” is to be held in Seoul on April 29. The film about Japanese-Korean woman Song Shin-do’s ongoing fight for justice as a former “comfort woman” will be shown at Seoul Women’s Plaza. The Korean-language film will be screened with English subtitles at the event to run from 3-6 p.m. The venue is near Daebang Subway Station Exit 3.

The 2009 film tells of Song’s fight for justice for women like her who were drafted into sexual slavery for Japanese troops during the war. Song escaped a forced marriage at the age of 16 when she was lured to the Japanese front line with the promise of living alone. But she was instead forced in to sexual slavery for seven years.

The event has been organized by the Women’s Global Solidarity Action Network for more information e-mail womens.global.solidarity@gmail.com.
