"Reset" - Synopsis:

On April 16th, 2014, the Sewol Ferry sank in South Korea, taking with it the lives of 304 of its 476 passengers. The victims, primarily high school students, perished following instruction to remain in the cabins rather than abandon ship. South Korea’s worst maritime disaster traumatized a nation while simultaneously sinking the country’s emotional spirit. Three years later, the effects of impassioned protest and shifting political power resulted in the raising of the Sewol from the West Sea. The film “Reset” asks why the rescue of our children and people was neglected on the fateful day the Sewol sank.
