UCL East Community Cinema: Coming To You
Gyuri Byun’s groundbreaking Korean documentary centres on two mother Nabi and Vivian’s whose lives were upended when their respective children came out to them.
UCL East Community Cinema: Coming To You
Nabi and Vivian’s lives were upended when their respective children came out to them — Nabi’s child Hankyeol as trans, and Vivian’s child Yejoon as gay. Overcoming their initial reservations, the two mothers undergo a profound transformation and join PFLAG (Parents, Families and Allies of LGBTAIQ+ People in Korea) to become committed advocates for queer rights. Tracing protests, first love, and bureaucratic obstacles, Coming to You builds an expansive and evolving portrait of all four individuals as they learn to show up for one another. Equal parts devastating and tender, the film is a testament to enduring allyship that transcends empathy and acceptance to embody a radical solidarity.
