The Women Outside: Korean Women and the U.S. Military - Trailer - TWN
Documenting the lives of women who work in the South Korean military brothels and clubs where over 27,000 women "service" the 37,000 American soldiers stationed in the most militarized region of the world, "The Women Outside" follows their provocative journey from the outskirts of Seoul to the inner cities of America. A testament of endurance and survival, it raises questions about U.S. military policy, South Korean government policy and their common dependence on the sexual labor of women. "The Women Outside" is a film that challenges the U.S. military presence in Korea, and the role women are forced to play in global geopolitics. Directed by J.T. Takagi & Hye Jung Park –

We champion the self-representation of historically marginalized communities—including Black, Latine, Indigenous, Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern, North African, Mixed/Multiracial, People with Disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ individuals—through diverse genres and forms of media, such as documentary, experimental, and fiction. Our comprehensive support includes hands-on training, fiscal sponsorship, educational distribution, and preservation, all designed to advance cultural justice and societal change. Our aim is to facilitate their efforts to create, engage, and amplify their stories, propelling audiences to action.
