According to the video clip, as of June 2007, 116 Korean comfort women, including the first confessed comfort woman, Hak-Sun Kim, had passed away; by 2010 (the year this documentary was released), the record still showed that the Wednesday rally was the longest peaceful protest in the world as it pursued an official apology from the Japanese government. On January 13, 2010, the 900th Wednesday rally took place. To date, the Japanese government has never made an official response to this protest, and every Wednesday, Korean comfort women continue to uphold the unofficial world record even as they desire to stop the endless protest by reaching the end of their long journey to Japan’s apology. As one Korean comfort woman said, “Japan may look forward to the time when we all die but we must live long lives and obtain an apology from Japan." The 2010 record shows that among the 234 women who were on the official registry of Korean comfort women, eighty-six were alive. The most recent update reports that there are only twenty-two alive as of March 2019.
