In 1993 documentary filmmaker Dai Sil Kim-Gibson released Sa-l-Gu, her powerful film about communities, including Korean-Americans, struggling in the after math of the "L.A Uprising", which violently unfurled during April 1992. In the words of Mrs. Jung Hui Lee who has lost her only son during the 1992 upheaval: Unity is like holding wets and tightly in your hand. If you hold a fistful of wet sand, it becomes one big lump. But if the sand dries, it will slip out through your fingers until nothing is left. "In Wet Sand, Kim-Gibson returns to Los Angeles and looks into the past and present to question how much has changed in ten years. Interviews with the multi-ethnic victims and witnesses of the 1992 LA upheaval reveal the grim reality of the inner city where the dilemmas of racism and poverty remain unsolved, if not worsened. Laying bare the deeply rooted flaws of American society, Kim-Gibson′s latest work captures the resiliency of communities fighting for the "unrealized hopes of America."
