Post-film Q&A with actor Yang Dong-geun moderated by Dr. Jaewook Kim, University of Houston
Actors and real-life friends Yang Dong Geun, Jung Joon, and Kim Yoo Mi join members of Heritage, a musical ensemble whose members co-founded the Heritage Mass Choir (thought to be the only South Korean gospel choir in the country) on a trip to Harlem in New York City.
The documentary follows their mission to discover gospel’s roots and origins, and learn from some of the world’s leading authorities on the genre. What follows is a journey of discovery for the friends and musicians, as they attempt to hone their skills by performing in front of real-life church congregations.
