More Details

Summary:

"American Alley" is the name of a small village next to the Second U.S. Infantry in the Dongducheon area. Since the Korean war, there have been thousands of desperate Korean women who served the U.S. soldiers to survive during the hard time after the war. But nowadays, there are women from Russia and the Philippines working as 'entertainers' in the GI clubs. Some of the migrant women who work in the clubs choose to marry with the U.S soldiers, and some get abandoned, some go to the States with their husbands, and some get deported. Old Korean women who still live in this area talks about their past lives infrequently, while young migrant women continue similar life paths by marrying, divorcing, and standing alone.
