Silmido
“A Forbidden History Now Breaks It Deep Silence.”
ActionDrama
On 31 January 1968, 31 North Korean commandos infiltrated South Korea in a failed mission to assassinate President Park Chung-hee. In revenge, the South Korean military assembled a team of 31 criminals on the island of Silmido to kill Kim Il-sung for a suicide mission to redeem their honor, but was cancelled, leaving them frustrated. It is loosely based on a military uprising in the 1970s.
VIBE
A brutal, unflinching look at the human cost of geopolitical conflict. It's a grim, intense experience that explores themes of sacrifice and betrayal against a backdrop of desperate patriotism. This is not for the faint of heart.
