Even No Shadow

Centred on immigrant workers from Vietnam and Sri Lanka, Choi’s heroic short goes deep into Korea’s ‘black economy’, where exploitation and injustice are rife and racist outbursts are just one too many shots of soju away.

Fine, eye-opening stuff, rather well acted by the non-pro cast – which includes Choi himself.
