- Summary:
- (Kwagŏ nŭn natsŏn nara ta) "On April 28, 1986, two students, twenty-year-old Kim Se-jin and Lee Jae-ho, immolated themselves to death, shouting slogans, "No war, no nuclear weapons, Yankee go home," "U.S. sign the peace treaty with North Korea," and "Expel American imperialists." This took place in the midst of a public demonstration against the forced conscription of students, joined by approximately four hundred students and held at the Sinrim crossroads facing the Seoul National University main gate. The manner of their deaths, the radicalness of their slogans (they were the first overtly anti-American statements to be heard in public since the conclusion of the Korean War) deeply shocked Korean society at the time. Twenty years have since passed. The world has changed. The leaders of North and South Korea are holding a summit meeting for the second time. The United States is discussing the possibility of signing a non-aggression pact with one of the erstwhile "Axis of Evil" regimes. Few Koreans living in 1986 could have anticipated all this. What about the deaths of these two young men? What are their friends and comrades doing today? What have they remembered, and what have they forgotten about this shocking event? Have they changed as much as the world has changed? Will their faces register masks of complacency, or countenances of discordance? "History does not flow away from us, rather it walks towards us." The friends and colleagues of the two young men and the director switch the positions of an interviewer and interviewees, to offer testimonials to the elusive truth." / (Oebak) "On the night of June 30, 2007, cashiers and salespeople of Homever, a superstore, started to fight for their rights and to disclose issues regarding contract-worker protection laws. This was not only the first in-house picketing action by young women workers in history, but it also gave them an opportunity to seek a new ego as women. Their one night picketing in the store turned into a 510 day strike. This long struggle revealed problems and limitations of the labor movement in Korea. The film maker joined this long journey with his camera. The film does not discuss whether there is justification for the strike, but rather it urges viewers to participate." / (Tu kae ŭi mun) "The documentary Two Doors traces the Yongsan Tragedy of 2009, which took the lives of five evictees and one police SWAT unit member. Left with no choice but to climb up a steel watchtower in an appeal to the right to live, the evictees were able to come down to the ground a mere 25 hours after they had started to build the watchtower, as cold corpses." / (Puronhan tangsin) "I, a lesbian filmmaker, encounter people yelling at me to disappear from this world. It is a time of hatred in South Korea. LGBTQ people are the easy targets for hatred. In searching for what makes a marginalized life livable, I embark upon a journey. I encounter a double life of Lee Muk, a 70-year-old Korean "Mr. Pants" and precarious lives of a Japanese lesbian couple, Ten and Non, after 3/11. As an ever-growing number of citizens are becoming the targets of "witch-hunting" in Korea, true faces of the haters slowly begin to unfold." -- kroeanfilm.or.kr, April 28, 2022.
