Crossings (2022) offers a raw glimpse into the ongoing tensions of the Korean Peninsula, focusing on the work of women from various backgrounds who aim to mend a divided nation. Liem's direction has this almost meditative quality, letting the emotions of the peacemakers breathe through the frame. The pacing is deliberate, almost like a slow march itself, allowing viewers to absorb the weight of each moment. Themes of perseverance and hope resonate throughout, contrasting sharply with the stark imagery of the DMZ. There’s a palpable sense of urgency and collective strength that makes the film stand out; it’s less about the conflict and more about the human connections being formed. Really interesting stuff for anyone into documentary filmmaking or current affairs.
