Malditang Bugay Feb 13 2017 6:08 am Sad but powerful story. It depicts very well the atrocities of War and specially the story of Comfort Women (Comfort women were women and girls who were forced into sexual slavery by the Imperial Japanese Army in occupied territories before and during World War II). When the Shaman did the spiritual homecoming dance, I got goosebumps because it was so emotional.

It’s a must watch for someone willing to know one of the many gruesome happening in Asian history.
