Program Note

Lee Hee-Ja has launched a lawsuit against the Yasukuni Shrine and the Japanese government in order to withdraw the enshrinement of her father. Furukawa is the Japanese man who organized the support committee for the lawsuit regarding compensation for Korean War victims. Centered on these two people’s struggle together against the Yasukuni Shrine, the film silently cries out for a peaceful world by relieving the conflict and opposition in East Asia and transcending the problems of Korea and Japan.
