Director Statement

I was not what I would call a "political filmmaker." As a Korean-American, I knew that my background was rife with violence, but the true historical context always eluded me. Call it disinterest, call it ignorance, but I was far more interested in the plights of others and the backgrounds of my peers. That all changed with two events: my exposure to the concept of "han" which lead me down a rabbit hole of historical, racial, and cultural tensions, and recent events in the Middle East and their surprising connections to the Korean War. It all ignited me to make this film, with key collaborators and talent that I was very grateful to have immediately jump on the project. I hope you find this film illuminating, or at the very least learn something new about the Korean War.
