Program Note
By the Gyeongho river in Sancheong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do Province, is located Sungsim-won where the patients of Hansen's disease stay. It was built with the money raised from selling the relief supplies after the Korean War and has been precious home to many Hansen patients. Until Sungsim bridge was constructed over the Gyeongho river, the only vehicle that connected them with the outside world was a steel boat. Currently this small steel boat rests in Sungsim-won bearing the shadow of the painful time in the past. Director Kim Jigon, commissioned to make a video footage commemorating the 60th anniversary of Sungsim-won, visited there for the first time and has paid earnest effort to closely portray the place for the last three years. This film is an innocent and impressive documentary that would resonate deep in your heart with the numbing and shining moments of Sungsim-won people and the magnificent images that are brought by utmost care.
