current project in development
Separation Anxiety (working title), video
Growing up in South Korea, my dad used to share with us his story of deprivation during the Korean War as a child and growing up in the post war era. He would repeat these stories of his childhood whenever he drank. Because these stories always ended up with a lecture on how spoiled we were compared to his own childhood, where he witnessed a war, we would do our best to avoid listening to these stories. I left home in Seoul, Korea at the age of 17, and I never had a chance to hear that story again since now. As an adult, I am ready to revisit his remarkable experience. In the interview, he talks about his life as a war refugee and how his love for study eventually lead him to become an Orthopedic Surgeon, from the poverty that the war provided him. |
