Feminist Video Activism WOM
SYNOPSIS
At the same time representations of homosexual love were being mass produced as fancy caricature stationery, the bodies and minds of teenage lesbians were being scarred. In school, homosexuality was considered a more serious offense than drinking, smoking or getting pregnant -- a filthy epidemic that might make your flesh rot upon contact. While her mother and uncle discussed her transfer to America, Chun-jae, in her third year of junior high, was on the rooftop, listening to the dogs barking. She could not understand why her school, which should provide education on human rights and morality and protect its students from the world, was oppressing and censoring her love. (Shim Hye-kyung)
