Inside Japan, the issue is dividing the country across clear ideological lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supporters and detractors of \u201ccomfort women\u201d are caught in a relentless battle over empirical evidence, the validity of oral testimony, the number of victims, the meaning of sexual slavery, and the definition of coercive recruitment. Credibility, legitimacy and influence serve as the rallying cry for all those involved in the battle. In addition, this largely domestic battleground has been shifted to the international arena, commanding the participation of various state and non-state actors and institutions from all over the world. This film delves deep into the most contentious debates and uncovers the hidden intentions of the supporters and detractors of comfort women. Most importantly it finds answers to some of the biggest questions for Japanese and Koreans: Were comfort women prostitutes or sex slaves? Were they coercively recruited? And, does Japan have a legal responsibility to apologize to the former comfort women?<br><br>&nbsp;Q&amp;A session after the film with the director, Miki Dezaki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Info:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/events.berkeley.edu\/index.php\/calendar\/sn\/ieas.html?event_ID=131294&amp;date=2020-02-10&amp;filter=Secondary%20Event%20Type&amp;filtersel=830\">http:\/\/events.berkeley.edu\/index.php\/calendar\/sn\/ieas.html?event_ID=131294&amp;date=2020-02-10&amp;filter=Secondary%20Event%20Type&amp;filtersel=830<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4.

As a result, the County Tax Collector\u2019s office has announced its intention to seize the property for public auction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Board members, staff and listeners are asking: Is this the result of incompetence or internal sabotage? The plan to turn KPFA into NPR-type programming was defeated in 1999, yet the rogue KPFA management has engineered a financial meltdown through deliberate fiscal mismanagement to force its hand once again. This has resulted in an imminent auction of the Berkeley building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The engineered financial meltdown also explains why:<br>\u2022 There was a violent seizure of the WBAI studio in New York during a successful fund drive.<br>\u2022 There have been repeated failures to submit timely audits, causing a loss of CPB grants.<br><br><br>Tracy Rosenberg, former Treasurer of the Pacifica National Board warns that, \u201cThe situation is grave and serious. I hear the paternal \u2018let management take care of it\u2019, but that was tried and for seven years management did not take care of it. So the whole community needs to get KPFA out of this pickle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to financial mismanagement, Pacifica\u2019s anti-war mission is under threat. KPFA was known for broadcasting often lone anti-war voices in the midst of \u201cembedded\u201d journalism and for stepping outside of the two-party political framework with in-depth analysis rarely found in mainstream media. Instead of following this unique and crucial tradition, KPFA has been regurgitating mainstream media arguments and management has canceled popular programs without due process: Guns and Butter, Twit Wit Radio, Discreet Music, WorkWeek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See Indybay site for details!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Host: Defend KPFA &amp; Pacifica<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Info:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indybay.org\/newsitems\/2020\/02\/09\/18830557.php\">https:\/\/www.indybay.org\/newsitems\/2020\/02\/09\/18830557.php<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10.
