Bethesda means ‘a house of mercy’ in antic Greek and it is a place where a paralytic was healed by Jesus after 38 years of disease according to the Bible.
The meaning of "Bethesda in Japan" is a metaphorical expression of Japanese religion that desires salvation through martyrdom.
The history of martyrdom and persecution of Japanese Christianity, which is unprecedented in the world, began in the late 1500s. This documentary follows the history of Christianity that has remained throughout Japan for a long time and the traces of martyrdom and persecution of it. Through this, We can think deeply about the relationship between God and the man.

Synopsis
GeumSook is a single mom, who has escaped from North Korea and has settled down in South Korea. However GeumSook is always overwhelmed by the harsh stares of people around her and by the burden that she has to nurture her daughter, SoonMi who is just 100 days old by herself.
One day, GeumSook left SoonMi alone and set out on a trip with her friend. However, she had her purse stolen and wandered here and there in a strange city alone.
Director's word
The only divided land in the world, the Korean Peninsula. There are more than 20,000 refu- gees who have escaped from North Korea and have settled down in South Korea. But they live like strangers who belong to neither South Korea nor North Korea. Especially in the course of escaping from North Korea, some women get unwanted pregnancies and have their human rights violated.
This picture aims to reflect on the lives of North Korean refugees through the trip one single mom from North Korea made. As a director, I hope that this picture gives an opportunity to think over not the ideological point of view but the human rights.
