Ahn’s narrative film My Heart Is Not Broken Yet (2009) archives an “unconventional” World War II victim, a previous solace woman Song Sin-do, who becomes something of a star in Japan while documenting a claim against the Japanese government.

The film is an editorial record of the Sewol ship disaster –utilizing sound accounts, news clasps, and meetings – to convincingly affirm that the public authority was careless in their recuperation endeavors, which killed more than 300 individuals. In 2015, the film earned the Grand Prize at the Fukuoka Asian Film Festival.
