Contents/Summary
- Summary
- A search for the values of life through people who have survived extreme agony. In South Korea, one of the world’s most modern and powerful industrial economies, some unimaginable outrages of the past still persist. One of them is the island of Sorokdo, where Korean lepers have been interned since the time of the Japanese occupation. What was once a genuine concentration camp – with experiments performed on human beings – still serves as a place of segregation where society and families cast off their sick. A visual journey and meditation about the value of human life.
