Goh Kwan-hong's touching true story film 'Sea Tiger' about the Sewol ferry disaster divers will be screened at the National Assembly.
The film 'Sea Tiger' depicts the long journey of Sewol ferry divers overcoming pain and returning to their families, receiving a high rating of 9.18 on the Naver portal site's audience rating and currently being screened.
The screening of the film 'Sea Tiger' at the National Assembly is organized by the National Assembly Life Safety Forum and will be held on the 23rd at 6 p.m. in the 1st committee room of the Members' Office Building. Eleven members including Park Joo-min, Choo Mi-ae, Kwon Hyang-yeop, Han Chang-min, Kim Seon-min, Park Hee-seung, Kim Yoon, Park Hae-cheol, Son Sol, Lee Yong-seon, Baek Sun-hee, and around 100 people including the Speaker of the National Assembly and senior members are expected to attend.
The National Assembly Life Safety Forum is a group of lawmakers researching policies to protect the rights of victims and uphold the national responsibility of safeguarding the lives and safety of the people.
President Lee Jae-myung stated in his inaugural address, "I will create a safe and peaceful country," and said, "I will clearly identify the truth behind social disasters such as the Sewol ferry, Itaewon tragedy, Osong underground tunnel accident, and build a safe society where the lives and property of the people are not threatened." Therefore, the significance of the screening of 'Sea Tiger' at the National Assembly is even more profound.
President Lee Jae-myung also met with the families of the Sewol ferry victims, as well as the families of the Sewol ferry, Itaewon, Jeju Air, and Osong underground tunnel flooding accidents on the 16th, offering apologies for the government's absence and engaging in dialogue with the families.
The film 'Sea Tiger' continues to garner word-of-mouth success with a perfect 10-point rating from audiences. Director praises from the press and critics have been remarkable, with director Bong Joon-ho praising, "The camera that fills the empty space finally captures his soul," and director Lee Myung-se praising, "An astonishing originality that has never been seen before," saying, "I want to applaud the director's challenge." President Moon Jae-in recommended it as "a movie that gives tremendous immersion and empathy," attracting attention.
The film 'Sea Tiger,' which combines the true story of the Sewol ferry divers who plunged into the Maenggol waters with director Jung Yoon-cheol's creative direction, is currently being widely screened nationwide, and the distributor is consistently promoting community screenings.
