I Took a Lethal Dose of Herbs
This bizarrely chilling story shows how postpartum psychosis and anti-abortion ideology can lead women to self-destructive behaviour.
America Town was once a “haven of rest” for US soldiers. A realistic look into its streets and buildings reveals the desolate life of South Korean “comfort women”.
In 1969, to cater for the needs of soldiers from the nearby US military base, the South Korean government supported the building of America Town in the city of Kunsan. About 1,000 men visited here nightly to find entertainment: bars, dance clubs, brothels. Prostitutes, officially called “US military comfort women”, were recruited nationwide. By depicting their daily routine, director Gina Kim presents life in America Town from their perspective. She aims to ensure that the experience of these women is not erased from the earth’s surface in the same way as America Town. Set against the background of what is now a ghost town, the filmmaker uses fragments of conversations, reflections in mirrors, hints and clues to evoke the painful memory of a place.
