    • Synopsis
    • The histories of Argentina and Gwangju, South Korea, two places on the opposite side of the globe, are mirror images of the other: both are stories of brutality and massacres, inflicted upon human beings by other human beings during the military rule in the 1970s and 80s. How are we to face and mourn war, violence, massacre, life and death, especially at a time of global pandemic when humanity is again trapped in a cycle of panic? The people of Gwangju — literally meaning “a city of good light” — and Buenos Aires — literally “good air” — may be able to give us some answers.
