For 7 years and 7 months from 1948, Jeju Island was an island of death. The South Korean military and police massacred 30,000 islanders and burned their houses in the name of eradicating communist guerrillas. A significant portion of the victims of Jeju 4.3 were women, but the damage they suffered was not known for a long time. This documentary follows the path of a dedicated Jeju 4.3 researcher, and brings out the experiences of Jeju women who have been sealed in the dark, and their voices that were locked in silence, to the world.

 

Director Jee Hyewon will be in attendance for a post screening Q&A
