It’s hidden, but once you know what to look for, you’ll realize it’s everywhere.
Underneath the glamour of Seoul is a booming prostitution and sex trafficking industry. The capital of South Korea is referred to as a “paradise” for the sex industry that men can easily access.
That’s what Jason and Eddie Lee, brothers and co-founders of Jubilee Project, discovered during their trip to Korea last year. Save My Seoul, a feature-length documentary set to release in Spring 2015, aims to raise awareness about the issue and spark action to end trafficking in South Korea.
“When my brother, Eddie, and I went to Seoul, we thought that it’d just be another visit, but this time, we came across something we had never seen in Korea before,” says Jason Lee, the director and co-producer, in the trailer.
Equipped with hidden cameras, the brothers traverse Seoul’s underworld to find that the issue goes “far deeper than lost girls and lustful men. Instead, it’s a consequence of the broken Korean culture that turns a blind eye to and condones one of the biggest human injustices of our generation.”
