Abstract:

An incident on the North-South Korean border leaves two soldiers dead. With both sides presenting conflicting accounts and tensions coming to a boil, neutral investigators are called in to moderate. As the lead investigator, an ethnically Korean Swiss millitary women, digs deeper, she finds a truth that corroborates neither side's account. Rather than being a simple murder mystery, JSA transcends the genre to deliver the shocking reality of the grim realities our beliefs in national borders and divisions earn us. With Lee Young-ae, Lee Byung-heon.
