Two years ago in South Korea, a woman was murdered in Gangnam. It was a senseless death that changed the landscape of feminism in South Korea. Here are the stories of the women who want to reclaim the "dirty F-word" into a language of empowerment.
MOVE!
Director/Producer: Youjin Do (24 min.)
MOVE!(움직여!) is a web video series that tells the stories of women in constant motion—running, kicking, climbing, and breathing. It's a narrative about moving and functioning bodies, not as objects to be seen and judged. It delves into the beginning, inspiration, and transformations of women engaged in yoga, pole sports, judo, and futsal. Dr. Leem So Yeon, a Ph.D. in Science and Technology Studies, and Seo Min-jeong, a personal trainer, provide commentary as we capture these stories through vivid images.
