Combining in-depth textual analyses of films such as Bleak Night, Okja, Planet of Snail, Repatriation, and Silenced with broader historical contextualization, Movie Minorities offers the first English-language study of South Korean cinema's role in helping to galvanize activist social movements across several identity-based categories"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction : "I am a human being: : the question of rights in South Korean cinema -- Part I.
