A Jeju Story Official Trailer (1)

'A Jeju Story' tells the true but little-known events at the time Korea became divided into two separate countries. https://ajejustory.com

As the demarcation lines were being drawn between the north and the south just after World War II, a small group of islanders off the southern tip of Korea took a stand to try to stop a division they feared would never be undone. What happened next was denied and covered up for decades, as families of survivors paid a heavy price in its wake after watching their own people wipe out 10% of the population. But their sacrifices, brought to life in A Jeju Story's stunning animation and sweeping orchestration, call out to the world like whispers of ancestors long departed, with a chilling warning from the other side of mortality: "Tell our story, before the world's lines are drawn forever."

It is important to share this story with the world because even though it happened in Korea, it is the story of the whole world and the cycles of power and control that appear all throughout history when groups of people try to control one another.
