About the Film
After April 16, 2014, a father took up a camera and became a documentary filmmaker. SEWOL: Years in the Wind documents the decade following the Sewol ferry disaster which claimed 304 lives, most of them high school students through the eyes and hearts of the bereaved families. The film is created from an extensive archive of footage recorded over 3,654 days, as Moon carried his camera throughout ten years of mourning and struggle.
