In this compelling black-and-white portrait, director O Muel
depicts the 1948 uprising and subsequent massacre on
Jeju island in Korea with authenticity and realism. After a US
military decree classifies all inhabitants within 5 kilometers
of the coast as “rioters” and orders their execution, over 120
villagers flee to a cave and fight for their survival.
In Korean, with English subtitles.
Toronto filmmaker Min Sook Lee and special guests will
participate in a post-screening Q&A.
Co-presented by the Asian Institute, Munk School
of Global Affairs, University of Toronto and Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival.
