Kim Young-oh

A documentary that reports on the the rescue failure of the Sewol incident. In the days of media control, Park Geun-hye and her government sabotaged the screening of "Diving Bell" at the Busan International Film Festival.

In April 2014, the entire nation of South Korea watched on television live as The Sewol capsized off the coast of Jindo. The tragedy left life-long wounds in the hearts of people whose family and friends had been among the 304 passengers killed. The majority of the victims were high school students on a school trip. Their parents were not even given the luxury of grieving, as they had to camp out in front of the Parliament, City Hall and the Presidential House, asking for only one thing - to know the truth about why their children had been left to die. But after more than a year, that truth has yet to be brought to light. This film is a documentation of the year-long struggle and painful soul-searching of people destined to be labelled as 'bereaved families' for the rest of their lives, as they come face to face with the naked face of their cruel country.

Ten years ago, 304 innocent people aboard the Sewol ferry in Korea lost their lives at sea. The reason for the sinking and the complete failure of the rescue are crucial factors yet to be revealed. But the government continues to withhold key evidence, citing national security reasons. This documentary finds a conclusion of why all the matters have gone wrong.

The 10-year struggle of the families who lost their children from the Sewol Ferry Disaster.
