THE COAST GUARD

A group of soldiers on South Korea’s border with the North become at odds with the local villagers and themselves.

A visceral exploration of PTSD from the extreme end of the Asian cinema spectrum, this Korean drama is not for the faint-hearted. Set in the no-man’s land between the country’s north and south, The Coast Guard is a political satire granted a potent charge in its rage-fuelled descent into madness.
