8:30 Window on the World
Catherine Carr travels to the South Korean city of Seoul and invites passers-by to stop for a moment and answer one question - Where are you going?
She meets a Korean-American who regrets her decision to move to Seoul - a place her parents call 'Hell City' . . . . . .
And a wannabe author with a dark past.. . . . .
She talks to a political refugee stuck in a passport-less limbo. . . . . .
And a couple in love, who simply cannot live together.
These fleeting moments of intimacy are mixed with the sounds of the city to create an unpredictable audio portrait of Seoul.
