🚩 ABOUT YONGJUGOL
Yongjugol is a kijichon (camptown, red-light district) that emerged during the Korean War to service the nearby U.S. military base. It became one of South Korea’s largest & most infamous hubs for buying sex, once hosting over 200 establishments and 600 workers.
🎬 ABOUT THE FILM
Yongjugol sex workers and unlikely allies as they fight the demolition of the district in 2023. The government has declared a shutdown of the entire district - in the name of "women's rights."
