Herstory (Korean: 허스토리; RR: Heoseutori) is a 2018 South Korean drama film directed by Min Kyu-dong. It stars Kim Hee-ae and Kim Hae-sook, alongside Ye Soo-jung, Moon Sook, Lee Yong-nyeo, Kim Sun-young, Kim Jun-han, and Lee Yoo-young. Based on the real-life story of the trials that took place in Shimonoseki in the 1990s, the film follows a group of Busan-based women who engaged in a court case against the Japanese government to highlight the ordeals of Korean women who were forced into sexual slavery as comfort women by the Japanese military during World War II.[2][3] It was released in theaters in South Korea on June 27, 2018.[4]

The film depicts the story of grandmothers who bravely stood against the Japanese judiciary, traveling between Shimonoseki and Busan over six years (1992–1998), facing 23 trials with a team of 10 plaintiffs and 13 lawyers, along with those who fought alongside them.
