MOBILITY RIGHTS is a poetic visual examination of disabled people’s struggle in South Korea. It portrays the fights of the disabled finally being seen after decades of denial of basic rights. As an observation of the their daily lives, the film allows the audience to not only relate to the struggle towards rights they endure, but also reflect on their own pursuit of rights and happiness. This film highlights the experiences and challenges that they face from the general public, despite Korea’s emphasis on being a communal society.
