Awoke has its roots in a filmmaking workshop given on Jeju Island for disabled residents. One of the participants, Jung Jae-ik, decided to write a script based partly on his own experiences and other incidents he had heard about in the disabled community. Jung would ultimately go on to co-direct the resulting feature. Eye-opening in many ways, Awoke is well told, expertly acted and has a surprisingly sharp edge.

The post Awoke appeared first on London Korean Film Festival.
