Ser IslaIsland Being
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. Using a suggestive soundtrack, images of terrible beauty and an uncompromising but fair-handed approach to its subjects, the director delivers a remarkable work of denunciation. A visual and almost tactilely aural journey, a deeply moving consideration of the value of human life.
