family
synopsis
'Family' is a story about a young family who escaped the war in Yemen in search of a safer place to live. Leaving Yemen was a tough decision but the father was left with little choice due to the raging war.
His family are the most important thing to him and allowing them to live free and safe is the highest priority. His love came above everything and he wanted to provide them with a future not currently possible in his home country.
When they arrived the Korean people had taken to the streets in protest of the Yemeni refugees wanting them removed from the country without thought nor understanding of what was happening in Yemen.
Throughout the film, we listen to his thoughts, as he shares his feelings about the war and why he left with his family. Has his search for a safe place ended, or will there be more difficulties ahead...?
