Sorry, Dokdo

Sorry, Dokdo.

It is a first documentary movie dedicated to Dokdo, released in 2008. Choi Hyun-Mook directed the movie and Korean singer, Kim Jang-Hoon participated as a narrator.
Kim Jang-Hoon is also known as Dokdo activist who donated over 4billion won to Dokdo and he is also one of the celebrities in Korea who supports Dokdo.
In the poster of this movie, we can find unseen messages that director Choi Hyun-Mook wanted to point out.
It is rather sarcastic actually. The movie poster shows two islets of Dokdo in a ramen(Japanese noodle) bowl and a Japanese flag is planted on top of the islet. It looks as if the meal is ready to be served to someone, obviously Japanese.
A slug on the top saying, "So you are going to eat it(Dokdo) up, just like that?" and the main title, Sorry Dokdo.
It is not so difficult to notify the intention of the poster. The message is quite clear and sarcastic showing that the blame is on Japan who is trying to take Dokdo away from Korea.
The story contains Korea's effort to fight against Japan's attempt to dominate Dokdo.
Japan's claim is being more insistent day by day and Korean government's correspond is hardly effective. Because of this, the Korean citizens organized themselves many plans and involved in many events for one purpose; to raise the awareness of Dokdo.

This film reflects people's endless effort, their strive to raise the awareness of Dokdo to the public. Above all, it is crucial to raise attentions from Korean people.
"Sorry, Dokdo" is a touching story, a real drama of ordinary Korean citizens trying to protect from controversies and raise the awareness of Dokdo to the world.
