My Heart Is Not Broken Yet

My Heart Is Not Broken Yet (Korean나의 마음은 지지 않았다; RRNa-eui Ma-eum-eun Ji-ji Anh-ass-da) is a 2007 South Korean documentary film which tells the story of a former comfort woman, Song Sin-do, who filed a lawsuit against the Japanese government to seek redress for the comfort women who were drafted into sexual slavery for the Japanese troops during World War II. Although the court dismissed the case after a decade-long battle, Song firmly stands, defiant of the ruling: "My case may have been broken in court. But my heart is not broken yet." It was first released in Japan in August 2007.[1][2]
