Unforgotten Scars: Lives shattered by Japan's wartime atrocities

Across Asia, the legacy of Imperial Japan's actions during World War II continues to resonate. In Thailand, a wartime project came to be known as the "Death Railway." In the Philippines, a forced march of prisoners of war earned a similarly grim reputation. Many people on the Korean Peninsula are still seeking justice and compensation for forced labor.

In CGTN's documentary "Unforgotten Scars: Lives Shattered by Japan's Wartime Atrocities," we speak with survivors and families to explore the history, the memory, and the lasting impact across generations.
