Interview with So Yun Um on KBS WORLD Radio
“From liquor stores to Tribeca, exploring identity through a personal documentary”

“I made Liquor Store Dreams because I saw a void in the Korean perspective when it came to Black and Korean relations, tracing back to the ’92 LA Uprising to the Black Lives Matter movement. I wanted to create a film that was altogether personal, educational, and a conversation-starter.” -So Yun Um, Filmmaker
