Blood Sisters tells the story of Jeong Yeoul, a young Korean
college student in the 1980's, when the memory of President Chun
Doohwan's violent suppression of student demonstrations against
martial law was still fresh. Yideum captures with raw honesty the
sense of dread felt by many Korean women during this time as Jeong
struggles in a swirl of misguided desires and hopelessness against
a society distorted by competing ideologies, sexual violence, and
cultural conservatism. Facing this helplessness, her impulse is to
escape into the world of art. Blood Sisters is a vivid, powerful
portrayal of a woman’s efforts to live an authentic life in the
face of injustice.
