Sound of Nomad: Koryo Arirang (2017)

Sound of Nomad: Koryo Arirang starts with a diva of a tragic family history related to a history of migration. The rare archival footage re-animates her history reverberating with the current world crisis. This is a testimonial - a witness to injustice and tragedy, but it is also a declaration of survival - a survival that is not static but transformative - not brittle but fluid. The trains that displace, the deserts that separate from one harsh horizon -a historical limit- but within that limit, against it and across it are people, are a culture, not escaping but flourishing unofficially, with the affectionate majesty of a melody, a rhythm, an Arirang.
