IT GOES ONóTHE UNDOCUMENTED IS DOCUMENTED
(South Korea, 2004) Dir./Wtr.: Joo Hyun Sook
ìWhy do migrant workers leave their countries behind?"
With that, director Joo Hyun Sook embarks on a journey to uncover
the influx of migrant workers in South Korea. Beginning with a trip
to Bangladesh, the film exposes the stark economic and social realities
that force workers to seek greener pastures in another country.
However, new problems appear for those undocumented residents who
come to Korea, from government programs that stigmatize overseas
workers, to constant harassment from the local police. The oppressive
system, however, has gradually driven migrant workers into a new,
halting sense of empowerment. IT GOES ON observes the stories of
undocumented workers as they struggle to make a living in their
new surroundings, and their efforts to organize and advocate for
better living conditions and social liberties in the face of restrictive
Korean government policies.
