Image0005.JPG

The relocation and expansion of the US military base in Pyeongtaek,
Saemangeum tidal flat embankment, Dr. Hwang's stem cell research, video
horse race track, casinos in a dead mining town, workers struggling
against labor casualization, conscientious objectors of mandatory
military service, revision of the Private School Act, people's
resistance to the APEC Summit and WTO Ministerial, the struggle of
women peasants, the Korea-US Free Trade Agreement, the US military's
strategic flexibility... The Republic of Korea is going mad!

Production Note
“What
kind of world are we living in?” Not an easy question to answer at the
threshold of the 21st century. An almost impossible question to answer
in Korean society, where random incidents that defy common sense occur
on a daily basis. This work is a compilation of Korean independent
documentarists' and media activists' take on the many aspects of Korean
society. It's a maiden attempt to collect and reassemble all these
aspects - some of them from the past and others ongoing - in order to
document the present world we live in.
