Korean director Kang je-Kyu makes his first major international presence with his film My Way, an enthralling and absorbing exposition of the lives of two marathon runners’. Set within Japan’s occupation of Korea during the Second World War, a Japanese Aristocrat, Tatsuo Hasagewa, and a Korean country boy, Jun-shik Kim, spark a competitive relationship that follows them for the rest of their lives. A film of epic proportions, My Way offers a refreshing alternative to typical World War II films that are generally presented through a Western lens.

On April 19, 2012, Uprising host Sonali Kolhatkar interviewed Angela Killoren, Senior Vice President of CJ Entertainment, formerly the Associate Director at the University of Southern California’s Center for Asian-Pacific Leadership, about the film My Way.
