SYNOPSIS
Following the body of Park Kyung-seok and the hands of Moon Jong-taek, the film documents Park’s daily struggles on the subway and the public outcry over ‘inconveniencing innocent people.’ Holding his camera, Moon confronts a wall of indifference as they repeat the same fight in an unchanging world. The film stands with them, questioning the nature of their dreams while reflecting on the raw, immediate reality of their struggle.
DIRECTING INTENTION
There is a story that was left unfinished. It is the story of resistance against discrimination by people with disabilities, and the fight to uncover the truth behind the Sewol Ferry disaster.
This story was captured by director Park Jong-pil, who moved between these two sites of struggle. But with his death, Park Jong-pil’s camera came to a halt. Had he lived—had his camera not stopped—It would have stood in solidarity with the fight to reveal the truth of the Sewol tragedy. Following the journey that Park Jong-pil could not complete, I met Park Kyung-seok and Moon Jong-taek. And now, I begin again the film that Park Jong-pil could not finish.
