“Herstory” is chapter 1 of 5 chapters that make up the “War Brides of Japan, a docu*memory” film series. In this trailer: Historian Lily (“Dekasegi”) talks about the similarities between early migrants who left Japan for work hoping to return someday, and Japanese war brides who left much later with their former enemies—the Americans who occupied their post-WWII country. Regina (“Japanese Brides, American Wives”), also a historian, discusses the American Red Cross bridal schools in Japan that trained Japanese brides to become perfect American wives. ***Official Selection, Great Message International Film Festival, Pune Maharashtra India, 9/2019*** www.warbridesofjapan.com #warbridesofjapan
