Kim Ji-young, Born 1982

82년생 김지영

Available: Aug. 28 - Sept. 12, All USA

Limited seating

Young mother Kim Ji-young starts having strange episodes, as if possessed by ghosts. Flashbacks chronicle a lifetime of systemic sexism that has led her, at 34, to a crisis of confidence. This powerful film, based on the controversial bestselling autobiographical novel, paints an illuminating portrait of Ji-young’s struggle and life-changing epiphanies, without demonizing the male characters. While it highlights the pervasive gender discrimination found in Korea, the story is a universal one, as women around the world continue to endure the same microaggressions and internalized misogyny.
