- Synopsis
- The filmmaker goes on a search for the small time farmers who are impacted the most by the FTA. However, the “alienated” farmers dismiss the threat and continue to work hard to make a living. This documentary tells the experience of an individual who is directly affected by the FTA.
- Director's Note
-
Through meetings with a group of farmers struggling against the Korean-American FTA, I gradually realized how the FTA issues are closely connected to their lives. I took my camera to film them because I wanted to capture the lives of those who are most directly exposed
to the radical change caused by the FTA. Ultimately, whose interests does the FTA serve?
