The Flesh-Witness | 산증인 | 活證人 2021 Directed by Jeon Kyu-ri

North Korean, Chinese, and civilians were captured and controlled by the United Nations Command at the Geoje-do POW Camp in the 1950s. During the “voluntary” repatriation process, many POWs forced to be tattooed with anti-communist slogans and symbols on their bodies to prove their ideology and return to the motherland. Content Warning: The film contains material that includes abuse, self-harm, violence, and death. Viewer discretion is advised.
