For decades, Zainichi Koreans have lived on the margins of Japanese society while facing severe discrimination and social prejudice. The group includes ethnic Koreans living in Japan who trace their roots to the 1910-45 Japanese colonial period. Director Lee Il-ha's new documentary "Horoomon" brings this complex legacy to life through the fierce legal victory and rough journey of Shin Suk-ok, a prominent third-generation activist. Born in Tokyo in 1959, Shin overcame extreme poverty and prejudice to build a career as a successful corporate trainer and entrepreneur.
