Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Sandakan No. 8 is a 1974 film from Japan directed by Kei Kumai.It is about the tragic life of a woman sold into sex slavery. In the present day, a journalist named Keiko is doing research on Japanese women forced into prostitution in the early decades of the 20th century. By chance she runs into an old lady, Osaki, who was sold to a pimp by her family in 1905. Osaki's story unfolds in a series of extended flashbacks. She was sent to a brothel in Sandakan in British North Borneo (now Malaysia), and, after a couple of years working as a maid, was forced into service as a "karayuki-san", namely, a Japanese prostitute working outside of Japan. Osaki suffers through a quarter-century of exploitation and misery, before finally returning home to Japan, only to find that the victims of sex trafficking are not welcome in their homeland.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

Anorgasmia: Osaki says she's never gotten a climax from a man, although given her history, it's not hard to see why.

Does Not Like Men: "Men are all pigs," says Osaki, and it's hard to blame her. Besides all the men who exploited her and violated her, both her brother and her son disowned her. (The man who married Osaki after she escaped prostitution isn't really discussed.)

For Doom the Bell Tolls: The bell in the local Christian church starts tolling as Osaki and two other village girls are taken down to the beach and the boat that will take them away.

Attempted Rape: A gross pervert of a peddler who caught Keiko having a pee outside (Osaki's crude shack does not have a toilet) later sneaks into said shack and tries to rape her. After the two women chase him off, Osaki starts telling her story.
