SYNOPSIS:
In North Korea, torrential rains force the dams open, sending floodwater into the south. Later, two kids in South Korea pick up a plastic bag carrying a beetle in the stream. When they learn that the beetle is a North Korean child’s school project, they raise the beetle for him.
Showing kids grappling with similar issues on both sides of the border (sibling rivalry, absent parents, bullying, etc.), The Beetle Project is a compassionate film that transcends political or economic divide. Seeing children band together to raise the delicate beetle will undoubtedly melt even the hardest of hearts.
