As a fan of films showcasing ordinary people reclaiming their power for positive change, I was eager to watch “Citizen of a Kind” (also known by its Korean title, “Simin Deok-hee”). Directed by Park Young-ju, this gripping drama takes us on a riveting journey with Deok-hee (Ra Mi-ran), an everywoman who transforms into an unexpected heroine amid overwhelming challenges. Set against a backdrop of economic uncertainty and social strife, the film’s narrative strikes a deep chord with our current climate.
