National Security

COMING SOON: Chung Ji Young's National Security (South Korea, 2012) - Extremely grueling and painful to watch, National Security is a tough sell, but director Chung Ji-young’s unyielding approach to convey the torture experienced by the late Kim Geun-tae is likely to attract attention, which in and of itself should make it a feature on the festival market. The film is based on the memoir written by the famous politician Kim Geun-tae who was once imprisoned by the Korean Central Intelligence Agency (KCIA) for 22 days during the military dictatorship for his role in the pro-democracy movement in the ‘80s. 2012BUS.
