“For its 27 minutes, Breaking the Silence showcases captivating filmmaking in exploring the reality of ‘comfort stations’ and its victims but also briefly the fight to have these atrocities recognised and condemned as war crimes.”
Corey Bulloch, UK Film Review December, 2020
“Breaking the Silence is a brutally sad film, and I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen…a fantastic short film that really knew how to push my emotional buttons.”

“For a film under a half hour, and micro-budget to boot, Breaking the Silence is a whollop of information, and a great companion piece to other educational world war two movies and documentaries.”

“Seayoon Jeong’s short is emotionally charged, emotionally rewarding, and extremely moving. It’s an important film of great significance and simply put, a film that must not be missed.”
