Two Doors. The Archives of the Yongsan Tragedy
Two Doors traces the Yongsan Tragedy of 2009, which took the lives of five evictees and one police SWAT unit member. Left with no choice but to climb up a steel watchtower with fire bombs in an appeal to the right to live, the evictees were able to come down to the ground after merely 25 hours as cold corpses.
And the surviving evictees became lawbreakers. Two sides of voice are clashing in terms of the cause of this tragedy between the illegal and violent demonstration by the evictees and an excessive crackdown by government power. Subsequently, the prolonged struggle surrounding the truth of the Yongsan Tragedy continues in court.
