Our President

A provincial lawyer, who spent decades fighting for the rights of ordinary workers, suddenly finds himself at the epicenter of national politics. The 2002 Democratic Party primary in South Korea, opened to a public plebiscite, was meant to crown a presidential candidate. Roh Moo-hyun, a fringe figure dismissed by the establishment, begins to gather improbable momentum. The camera trails his authentic, sometimes awkward, yet deeply sincere campaign, built not on grand pledges but on direct conversation with citizens. It captures the precise moment when politics ceases to be an elite game and transforms into an expression of collective yearning for change.
