Coming to You (2021)  is a powerful, groundbreaking documentary film about two women confronting bigotry and redefining their relationship with their gay and transgender (adult) kids, made by a filmmaker working with the acclaimed queer feminist film collective, PINKS (연분홍치마). The film thoughtfully represents the work of PFLAG Korea (Parents and Families of LGBTAIQ People in Korea), an important chapter in LGBTQ activism in South Korea and beyond.
