South Korean film spotlights claims of sickness linked to Samsung plants
[...]But on Thursday the silence surrounding the case of Yu-mi, and dozens of others who claim they fell ill after working at Samsung plants, will be pierced by the nationwide release of a fictional film inspired by Hwang's decade-long search for the truth.
The film, Another Promise, is the first South Korean movie to have been funded entirely by private donations and crowd funding.
The director, Kim Tae-yun, said he was inspired to make the film after reading a newspaper article about Yu-mi's case.
"Friends told me not to do it, that it would be dangerous for my career," he said. "But I'm not the one doing the fighting here – the families are. I don't care if I'm tackling controversial or sensitive subjects, because there shouldn't be any taboo subjects for film-makers."
