Director: Hunter and Gatti

Synopsis: we captured the essence of different extraordinary characters who are single-handedly redefining Korean culture. We went because there is so much talk about Korea, but from a Western perspective, it remains largely unknown beyond K-Pop or its film productions. We returned with a deeper understanding of these individuals, witnessing the things that unite us all. We have created 4 chapters plus an epilogue that delve into themes of identity, highlighting how despite our differences as human beings, we all share common objectives… love, vulnerability, passion, ideals… all of which are encompassed in this project titled HANGUK. This is the first chapter.
