On April 16th, 2014, the ferry Sewol sank off in the coast of Korea. Only 174 out of 476 passengers managed to escape. The journalist Lee Sang-ho learns of “diving bell”, which enables the divers to stay underwater much longer. When a diving bell arrives at the scene, the Coast Guard does not permit them to deploy the diving bell. Four days later the diving bell is called back to the harbor by the demands of the missing ones’ families. Why did the Coast Guard stop it from being deployed? Why has been the mainstream media so biased against the diving bell? (Jeden svet)
