The Sewol Truth Movement, One Year Later

On April 16th, 2014 the MV Sewol sunk off the coast of Mokpo killing 304 passengers. The victims were primarily high school students on a field trip to Jeju Island.

One year later, South Korean society continues to struggle with the issues of public safety and government accountability. Families of the victims continue to grieve for their lost loved ones.

Cho Mi-sun, an activist with Sewol Truth, spoke with me at the group's petition tent in Gwangwhamun Square on May 8th, 2015. 

She discusses the organization's ongoing call for an impartial and comprehensive investigation into the tragedy, police reaction to the vigil and commemoration of April 16th, 2015 and the future role of the Sewol Truth movement in Korean society.
