Burning (2018)

"The truth is all in your head." In this episode, we head to South Korea to explore the dynamics between two cities shrouded in mystery and conflicting societal norms; Paju, a city made up of the working class located just outside of the demilitarized zone, and Seoul, not only the capital, but the largest metropolis in the country. Based on the short story, Barn Burning, by Haruki Murakami, Lee Chang-dong's 2018 thriller, Burning, is a story that leaves the viewer guessing at every twist and turn, blurring the lines between the truth that exists within and beyond our own perspective.
