We cordially invite you to the screening of ‘Voices To Songs’ – a documentary by Zainichi Korean director Park Yeong-i about Korean ethnic schools in Japan – known as Uri (“our”) Hakgyo (‘schools’) – and their Korean students living in Japan.

Why do these people support Korean schools and choose to work with the Korean community in Japan?

Starting from this question, the film accompanies supporters from Hokkaido to Kyushu and explores their motivations and the stories behind their activities. The focus is on a small Korean school in Shiga with only 15 children and the Japanese people who are committed to supporting it.

Every year, the school hosts the Uri Hakgyo Madang summer festival, which brings together Zainichi (Koreans living in Japan), Japanese, Brazilians, Okinawans and many others. Together, the local community creates a society rich in diversity. The film portrays their efforts to overcome prejudice and discrimination and their vision of a hopeful future.
