EBS Docu-prime: Family Shock

April 16th, 2014. This film presents the true stories of the 96 parents who lost their beloved children when the Sewol ferry sank into the southern sea of South Korea. Exclusive intimate interviews and the miserable daily lives of the bereaved suggest to all families in South Korea to consider the genuine meaning and value of what we call a ‛family’.
Only 75 came back after 325 high school students set off for a school trip. 250 students never came back into their parents’ arms. 200 days after the tragedy, the parents still live the 16th of April. Recalling the helpless moments, when all they could do was to wait. Waiting for the moment their child emerges from the cold sea, lifeless.
