For those who wish to understand the full impact of the tragic sinking of the Sewol Ferry in April of 2014, the half-hour film by Yi Seung-jun is must viewing. It was published by The New Yorker as a documentary episode in 2019 and has also received wider distribution on YouTube. Consequently, this post is long overdue.
The film presents the tragic event as a chronological documentary that is truly heart-wrenching, but necessary viewing for those who want to better understand the Sewol tragedy and its influence on Korea's politics and digital development Those of you who may have followed earlier posts on this blog (which can be reviewed at this link) will benefit from viewing the film.
