Gwangju is known as a key city of democracy in Korea. Kim Hwan-gyung, a young media artist, begins to live in a typical slum, Gwangcheon-dong. The residents share stories about the lives of the early urban poor, the first Gwangju democracy movement, and concerns about rapid redevelopment. Gwangcheon-dong is scheduled to be demolished and disappear entirely by 2024.
“A staggering achievement of craft and ambition. Park Dong-hee's vision lands with breathtaking precision.”
“Every frame feels alive. Gwangcheon-dong, Mr.Kim is the rare release that takes its audience seriously.”
