Sewing Sisters 2020

During the late 1960s and early 1970s, young girls, some as young as twelve, worked at Pyeonghwa Market, operating sewing machines while studying labor laws under the guidance of Jeon Taeil. In 1977, these girls were imprisoned for protesting the government's closure of their labor classes, famously declaring, “The next Jeon Taeil will be a woman!” Now, as middle-aged women, they reflect on their experiences as female workers, the social stigmas they faced, and the challenges of that era. The film combines these recollections with interviews from members of the Cheonggye Clothes Union, offering a unique perspective on Korean labor struggles.
