Samjin Company English Class
In 1995 Korea, a company-sponsored English class unites a trio of Korean “office ladies.” With smarts and determination above their lot in life, they uncover a scandal of Erin Brockovich proportions. But how will they overcome the institutionalized sexism, ageism, classism, greed, and apathy of their corporate employer to do the right thing? This cleverly scripted and perfectly cast indictment of modern-world problems is a sheer, emancipating joy to watch. An overdue outcry for justice on multiple levels, with the world’s lingua franca as a hilariously sardonic motif. Not to be missed.
