Eddie and Jason, two Korean-American brothers get in over their heads when they are called to Korea to make a short film on prostitution and sex-trafficking. Things get complicated when they meet Crystal and Esther, two prostitutes who reveal just how deep the problem goes and set off on a dangerous mission to capture the truth. With the use of hidden cameras and access to pimps, johns, and sex-workers, the filmmakers explore and unravel the complexity of the sex trade in Seoul. They learn that this problem is rooted in issues far deeper than exploited girls and lustful men. Instead, it's a consequence of a culture and government that condones and turns a blind eye to the biggest human injustice of our time.

Shining light into the darknessSometimes things can be too good to be true. The history of South Korea is amazing. But it doesn't come without some secrets. People are hurting inside despite what is observed on the outside. This is a MUST SEE documentary. Please consider "investing" 1 hour to be shown a new perspective..Score: 5/5
HmmmNot quite sure what the goal of the documentary is. Seems very incomplete. Was it to create awareness of prostitution in Korea? Not sure that's really new information. Was there supposed to be some call to action? Seems like a documentary that had potential...but going nowhere. And what was the point of mentioning that Pastor Byun got dismissed? Seems rather self-serving and doesn't fit with the film..Score: 1/5

Interesting but BiasedThis should have been a 15-minute YouTube documentary, and it was unbelievable how biased and propaganda-like it was. Very interesting points about the underbelly of Korean culture, but it essentially tried to erase the concept that there may just be plenty of sex workers in the world (and probably in Korea) that sincerely want to be sex workers in a safe, regulated environment. Even though it is looking for humanity in sex workers, it actually seems to belittle them to me..Score: 3/5
EyeopenerHad the opportunity to view this documentary at a conference. The film is so raw and real in portraying the problems faced in a well-developed country. It definitely was an eyeopener in many aspects!.Score: 5/5

An authentic look at a real problem that is typically swept under the rug.This documentary shows the way this problem is viewed - that it is a rampant problem that is associate with a business culture, and although it is the "norm" it's still hush hush and not talked about. It persists because people assume they have to participate and see it as the norm and aren't willing to stand up against it..Score: 5/5
Exposes the dark underbelly of Korean societyA stirring documentary that sheds light on the darkness of sex trafficking in South Korea. Juxtaposing street interviews of passersby with the stories of survivors of the sex trade, the film contrasts Korean society's dismissive attitudes with the gritty realities of this exploitative industry. Save My Seoul gives a voice to those whose lives are cast in shadows..Score: 5/5
Eye OpeningGreat documentary. Growing up into quite an asian family, sex was always such a taboo topic to talk about. Unfortunately, many family members don't look at prostitutes as victims. They just seem to look at them as an easy way to make money. However, there is so much more to that. I'm glad though that living in America has allowed me to understand that women aren't just objects to be thrown around with. Highly recommend!.Score: 5/5
