The Video Autobiography project captures the life story of the elderly through a camera of a young director. The 2022 Seoul International Senior Film Festival tells the story of people who went to Germany during the 60s-70s and worked as miners or nurses and the story of their family. We take a look at the lives of the elderly who were forced to go abroad as laborers due to the poor economic situation of their home country and the dire circumstances of their families. They led the country’s economic growth as pillars of modernization, but became forgotten after a while.
