In the year of 1988, Korea held its first Olympics. However, to do so, the government had to take down the slum areas of Seoul to try to improve its image. Additionally, there was no concept of “rights” to inmates. This movie captured the disillusionment and the sadness of those times while staying true to its message.
Though I didn’t shed a tear physically, my heart cried inside … Korea, like many countries, have loads of secrets that need to come out in the open. I pray that movies like “Holli-Dei” will awaken the people around us to kick us out of our ignorance.
This is for the victims of injustice… If you feel brave enough to see the movie, let me know…
