DESCRIPTION:Korean Peninsula Affairs Center Presents: The Film Silence Brok
 en: Korean Comfort Women by Dai Sil Kim Silence Broken: Korean Comfort Wom
 en (35 mm. 88 min.\, 57 min. Beta SP\, 1999) is a powerful documentary abo
 ut Korean women forced into sexual servitude by the Japanese Imperial Mili
 tary during World War II. The film dramatically combines the testimony of 
 former comfort women\, who demand justice for the “crimes against humanity
 ” of which they were the victims\, with contravening interviews of Japanes
 e soldiers\, recruiters\, and contemporary scholars. Silence Broken was br
 oadcast nationally in the U.S. by PBS in May 2000 and in Korea by KBS as a
 n Independence Day Special. It has been reviewed favorably as “a wrenching
  and formally inventive film” (Village Voice)\, “a hauntingly brilliant fi
 lm” (Asian Week\, Los Angeles)\, “searing testimony of Korean comfort wome
 n” (The Wall Street Journal)\, and “compelling testimony on a shameful cha
 pter in military history” (Video Librarian). Dai Sil Kim-Gibson\, formerly
  a professor of religion at Mount Holyoke College with a Ph.D. in religion
  from Boston University\, is a renowned independent filmmaker/writer. Kim-
 Gibson is well known for championing the compelling but often neglected is
 sues of human rights. All of her films have garnered many awards\, includi
 ng the Kodak Filmmaker Award\, and have been screened at numerous festival
 s worldwide\, in addition to being broadcast nationally on PBS and the Sun
 dance Channel in the United States. Kim-Gibson has received grants from th
 e Rockefeller and MacArthur Foundations. The author of many articles\, Sil
 ence Broken: Korean Comfort Women was her first book. It was described as 
 "unforgettable" by The Philadelphia Inquirer. Her second book is Looking f
 or Don: A Meditation. She also has completed editing and compiling a memoi
 r by her late husband\, Donald D. Gibson\, titled Iowa Sky\, a Memoir\, wh
 ich is scheduled to be published in January 2013.
