K-family Affairs
2023・South Korea・91 minutes
Arum's parents are part of the proud 386 generation, which played a significant role in achieving democratization in South Korea. Eager to pass on a better world to Arum, her father became a public servant, and her mother, a feminist activist. However, at the age of 18, she came face to face with the Sewol ferry disaster, which left numerous victims due to the malfunctioning national system. To her dismay, even Arum's father was involved in managing the aftermath of the accident, prompting her to question the democracy crafted by the previous generation. Navigating through Korean political history via her family's journey, Arum reflects on her generation's role, spanning from the 2014 Sewol ferry disaster to the impeachment, #MeToo movement, and the 2022 presidential election.
