No Tomorrow (2016 Film)
''No Tomorrow'' (Korean: 섬. 사라진 사람들; RR: Seom. Sarajin Saramdeul) is a 2016 South Korean film starring Park Hyo-joo and Lee Hyun-wook. The story is loosely based on the 2014 Salt Farm Slavery Incident in the island county of Sinan in South Jeolla Province, in which disabled men were sold as laborers, forced to work without pay, and beaten if they didn’t work hard enough; other islanders were complicit in helping the slavers find victims who tried to escape. The real-life investigation was spurred by a letter from one of the victims. In the film, an independent investigator and a cameraman try to unravel the mystery after receiving a tip from an informant. A quote from Bernard Shaw appears in the closing credits: "The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them." Plot An informant contacts journalist Lee Hye-ri (Park) to report that laborers at a salt farm, who have cognitive disabilities, have actually been enslaved. ...

South Korean Drama Films
South is one of the cardinal directions or compass points. The direction is the opposite of north and is perpendicular to both east and west. Etymology The word ''south'' comes from Old English ''sūþ'', from earlier Proto-Germanic ''*sunþaz'' ("south"), possibly related to the same Proto-Indo-European root that the word ''sun'' derived from. Some languages describe south in the same way, from the fact that it is the direction of the sun at noon (in the Northern Hemisphere), like Latin meridies 'noon, south' (from medius 'middle' + dies 'day', cf English meridional), while others describe south as the right-hand side of the rising sun, like Biblical Hebrew תֵּימָן teiman 'south' from יָמִין yamin 'right', Aramaic תַּימנַא taymna from יָמִין yamin 'right' and Syriac ܬܰܝܡܢܳܐ taymna from ܝܰܡܝܺܢܳܐ yamina (hence the name of Yemen, the land to the south/right of the Levant).

2016 Films
2016 in film is an overview of events, including the highest-grossing films, award ceremonies, festivals, and a list of films released and deaths. Evaluation of the year In his article highlighting the best films of 2016, Richard Brody of ''The New Yorker'' stated, "Hollywood is the world's best money-laundering machine. It takes in huge amounts of money from the sale of mass-market commodities and cleanses some of it with the production of cinematic masterworks. Earning billions of dollars from C.G.I. comedies for children, superhero movies, sci-fi apocalypses, and other popular genres, the big studios channel some of those funds into movies by Wes Anderson, Sofia Coppola, Spike Lee, Martin Scorsese, James Gray, and other worthies. Sometimes there's even an overlap between the two groups of movies, as when Ryan Coogler made '' Creed'', or when Scorsese made the modernist horror instant-classic ''Shutter Island'', or when Clint Eastwood makes just about anything."
