After the dissolution of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which was launched as a South Korean government organization in 2005, civic groups and bereaved families wishing to complete the mission the government had failed to accomplish form a joint organization to investigate the remains of civilians who were massacred during the Korean War. A three-year-long documentary about the organization’s three-year-long excavation efforts, 206: Unearthed is a record of sunlight, dirt, and sweat.
“A staggering achievement of craft and ambition. Heo Chul-nyung's vision lands with breathtaking precision.”
“Every frame feels alive. 206: Unearthed is the rare release that takes its audience seriously.”
