Following the original (If You Were Me - 2003), this is an anthology of shorts made for the National Human Rights Commission (South Korean). It's a measure of the vitality of Korean film culture that leading directors think it's worth making such shorts without pay, and that their films are sharp enough to be marketed as entertainment.
Subject matter of the films ranging from the problems faced by North Korean refugees in the south to the case of a Chinese-Korean worker who froze to death while demanding unpaid wages. Ryoo Seung-Wan (Crying Fist) shows a drunken salaryman rubbing up against all his worst prejudices: intellectuals, gays, women ... And Jang Jin upends one of the Left's most cherished myths: he shows the police torture of a student activist in the 80s - and focuses on the human rights of the cop.
