Description:

In the acclaimed coming-of-age drama GO, director Isao Yukisada delivers a gritty and deeply moving tale about identity and belonging. The story centers on Sugihara, a Japanese-born, third-generation Korean teenager navigating the harsh realities of prejudice. Standing at a crossroads of cultural identity, Sugihara begins his journey studying at a Korean junior high school, where he constantly feels the friction of his dual heritage. As he grows older, he struggles to find his rightful place in a society that stubbornly refuses to accept him as one of its own. This powerful film brilliantly captures the raw emotion, teenage rebellion, and search for self-worth that define his youth. Confronting systemic bias, Sugihara must decide who he wants to be, rather than letting others define him. With Isao Yukisada at the helm, GO serves as a poignant, realistic, and universally relatable exploration of youth, rebellion, and the painful path to self-discovery in a divided world.
