Set to premiere soon, CGTN's original documentary Last Daughters journeys across the Chinese mainland and the Philippines to shed light on the untold stories of so-called "comfort women" during World War II.
These women lost their childhoods to the flames of war and were coerced into sexual slavery. For decades, their voices remained silent, their memories carried alone2—until now.
Through intimate interviews with the few survivors still alive and conversations with their descendants, the film explores how these wartime traumas have shaped families and communities across borders. It also highlights the quiet resilience and warmth that endured even in humanity’s darkest moments.
By weaving a cross-border perspective with archival footage and personal narratives, Last Daughters offers a powerful reminder of the long shadow of war—and the strength it takes to keep memories alive. The documentary promises to resonate with young global citizens, tech-savvy storytellers, and changemakers seeking fresh perspectives on history’s impact today.
