Interesting facts

Intention is a 2018 documentary film directed by Ji-young Kim, who also directed the follow-up investigation, Ghost Ship. The film focuses on the South Korean government's involvement in and cover up of the 2014 Sewol ferry disaster. It features scientific analyses and testimonies from survivors to reveal the cause of the sinking, which resulted in the deaths of 304 of the 476 people on board, most of whom were high school students. Kim proves that much of the government-released data made available to the public was faked. Survivors indicated that there was governmental pressure to change their testimonies about the sinking to fit a different, inaccurate narrative for the disaster.
