Originally produced by Documentary Educational Resources in 2016.
During the Asia-Pacific War a million young Korean men were rounded up and shipped overseas to labor camps elsewhere in Imperial Japan. Thousands died, and were dumped into unmarked graves. Governments waffle over responsibility for their remains. On the 70th anniversary of the end of the War, a group of multinational volunteers carried home for reburial the remains of 115 men who died on wartime projects in Hokkaido. SO LONG ASLEEP travels with the pilgrimage as it moves across the Japanese archipelago holding public memorial services in major cities, and then crossing to South Korea for reinterment in Seoul. Using the past to face the future, the project brings together Korean and Japanese students not just to excavate remains but to cooperate in building an East Asia freed from the fires of ethnic and nationalist rancor. The project has been hailed as a model of repatriation and reconciliation that can be applied to war-and-remembrance problems elsewhere. Official Selection at the **Margaret Mead Film Festival.**
