'The Woman, The Orphan, and the Tiger follows a group of international adoptees and the other women of the Korean Diaspora in their twenties & thirties. It explores the ways in which trauma is passed on from previous generations to the present through a sense of being haunted. The physical return of the Diaspora confronts and de-stabilises narratives that have been constructed to systematically silence histories of injustice committed onto certain parts of the population in South Korea.[...] The film exposes how military and patriarchal violence against women and children became central in geopolitical negotiations between South Korea, the United States, and Japan, and how this part of world history has been systematically silenced, but reverberates in the present moment.' - excerpt form DVD back cover
