At its heart, Unforgotten Song is a story of resilience, courage and strength in the face of suffering and injustice. Archived songs sung by surviving comfort women are transformed into a ritual as beautiful as it is heart-breaking – that is for not only for victims in the past, but also for all women who are suffering from injustice in the world.
