Overall

A timely documentary that captures an extraordinary 28-hour civic gathering in South Korea, where farmers, Gen Z protesters, LGBTQ+ participants, and ordinary citizens came together on a freezing winter night after a tractor march was blocked by police. Through interviews with those who were there, along with social media traces and personal testimonies, the film portrays how a moment of political confrontation transformed into an unexpected network of solidarity across generations, regions, and identities.
