Japan Forum Podcast 2 With Miki Dezaki, Director of Shusenjo: The Main Battleground Of Comfort Women

Japan Forum caught up with Miki Dezaki at the University of Central Lancashire to talk to him about his documentary Shusenjo: The Main Battleground of the Comfort. The documentary is rare in that it attempts to de-dramaticize the issue rather than ratchet up emotions.

In the podcast Mr Dezaki talks about what motivated him to make the documentary; the difficulties faced when talking about controversial topics in a public forum in Japan; the reaction to the documentary both within Japan and abroad; and the lawsuits he is facing trying to prevent the wider distribution of the documentary within Japan.
