Description
On April 16th, 2014 the MV Sewol sunk off the coast of Mokpo in the south-west of the country killing 304 passengers.
The victims were primarily high school students bound for a field trip to Jeju-do.
Nine months later, South Korean society continues to struggle with the issues of public safety and government accountability.
Rebekah Jaung of sewoltruth.com spoke with me at the group's petition tent in Gwangwhamun Square last December about continuing calls for an impartial and comprehensive investigation into the tragedy, and the state of the Sewol Truth movement.
