White Jungle

Set in 2011, White Jungle explores the stark realities faced by ordinary people in South Korea regarding healthcare access. The documentary highlights the disparity between government promises of economic growth through medical care and the lived experiences of citizens who cannot afford hospital visits.

The film critiques the extreme commercialization of medical services, portraying doctors and patients as participants in a metaphorical jungle where survival often depends on navigating new rules and regulations. White Jungle advocates for a shift in perspective, suggesting that medical care should be viewed as a form of community welfare rather than merely a personal commodity.
