김복동

Kim Bok-Dong (1926–2019) was a courageous voice in the fight for Japan to come to terms with the so-called “comfort women” system. In 1940, at the age of 14, she was abducted by the Japanese military and forced into a “comfort station”. From 1992 until her passing, she fought for justice, human rights, and an official apology from Japan. Even in her 90s, she remained a tireless activist. The documentary My Name is Kim Bok-Dong chronicles her 27-year journey of resistance and shows her determination to preserve the truth – for herself, other survivors, and future generations. (KV)
