The US Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade instantly brings Jo Se-young's 2013 #koreanfilm documentary LET'S DANCE to the forefront of the mind...

The HangulCelluloid review of this deeply poignant, heartbreakingly intimate and unquestionably important film can be found at:

http://www.hangulcelluloid.com/letsdance.html

Background:

In 2009, a group of Korean pro-life obstetricians informed Korean authorities about fellow doctors and hospitals performing illegal surgical abortions; causing a political and social uproar and sparking a media frenzy.

Several years later, a number of women who had undergone abortions took a stand and publicly protested for their voices to be finally heard, leading director Jo Se-young to decide the time was right to detail such women's traumatic stories on film, in their own words.

'Let's Dance' is that documentary...
