Currently, the Earth’s Environmental Doomsday Clock is 9:42 P.M. The Environmental Crisis Clock is stipulated to collect and announce the opinions of environmental experts every year. The purpose of this Clock is said to be that people are wary of the destruction of the global environment and visually express the sense of danger to human survival. As people can understand from the Environmental Doomsday Clock, the Earth’s environment is in serious crisis. This year, in western Canada, the temperature rose to 49.6 degrees in summer, killing more than 700 people in the ensuing heatwave, and in the United States an area nearly seven times the size of Seoul burned down. | |

I am a member of an organization called ‘Butterflies of Hope’, and we’re working to solve the problems that stemmed from the sex slavery in the 1910s. I hold various events every year with the movie club Hwa-dam. Although the project of ‘Butterflies of Hope’ was held in the suburbs until last year, many students in CBNU began to show interest in this event. This was my first film festival. The reason I wanted to discuss social topics through movies was that movies are more accessible than others media. Also, people can understand difficult topics relatively easily. | |
