Voices of the Silenced

This film delves into the historical experiences of Park Soo-nam, born in colonial-era Japan, retracing the history of Zainichi Koreans in Japan. Through the lens of two 16mm documentary films shot since 1985 it resurrects the testimonies of witnesses, and raises questions for audiences, probing what was lost through colonisation and war, and serving as a record of the struggle to reclaim those losses. A collaborative effort between the director Park Soo-nam, who has now lost her eyesight, and her daughter and co-director Park Maeui.
