SYNOPSIS

In July, 2008 the G8 Summit was held in Japan. While the participants of the summit were gathering, the people opposing to the summit were also gathered in Japan. The opponents of the summit showed their view through demonstrations, laser-tech and et cetera. They also set up a camp near Windsor hotel where the summit was taking place and gathered an alternative assembly and marched around the hotel letting their voices out. Even though they were controlled and watched by the police, they kept on insisting on their claims. Their voices could be small now but they will keep on going till their voices could be heard.

DIRECTING INTENTION

When Korea was busy engaged in 'candlelight demonstration', the '34th G8 Summit' was being held in Japan in July, 2008. Many more, much more diverse people than the participants of the summit were gathering in Japan opposing to the summit. On what purpose were these people coming a long way to Japan? The film begins with this question. The camera follows these people to find out what they are doing, and it realizes that what was happening in Japan wasn't just happening in Japan. The purpose of this film was to show that people will not stop saying it's wrong about what is wrong and keep moving forward, for they have a faith about 'what is right' no matter what hardships they face.
