Lesley Barber has worked on such celebrated dramas as Manchester by the Sea (2016) and raucous comedies like Mindy Kaling’s Late Night (2019). Her range also extends to the world of documentary films, where she created scores to accentuate the personal journeys of three “comfort women” in Tiffany Hsiung’s The Apology. Hsiung’s doc follows a trio of women who were forced into sexual slavery during World War II by the Imperial Japanese Army. Nearing the end of their lives, they fight to be heard and recognized in the name of justice.
