Synopsis
In Jeju Island, considered the Hawaii of Korea, an incident surnamed "April 3" killed about 1 in 10 people, under control of the U.S. military government, shortly after liberation from Japanese colonial rule. In this film, the children who survived the massacre 70 years ago testify.
Director's Comment
While Jeju Island attracts many tourists, there are those who still live on the island even after losing their families and neighbors 70 years ago. During 'Jeju 4•3', while the country was slaughtering civilians, people struggled to survive from the coercive military and police, and resisting rioters. Children, who had nothing to do with ideology, lost their mothers and watched their family members die. 70 years later, those children have now grown into old, but 'Jeju 4•3' remains unsettled and it continues to drift between contrasting ideologies. What can compensate for the lives of these people who have lost their loved ones at such an early age? The least we can do is listen to their stories, events that have never been spoken of for 70 years. By illustrating what they have witnessed alongside capturing their now-wrinkled expressions and gestures on camera, we can go back in time.
