In December 2009, Korean pastor Lee Jong-rak built a wooden “drop box” on the outer wall of his home. It wasn’t designed to collect clothes or food or toys—but unwanted babies. Several children—many with deformities or disabilities—were placed the the “drop box” each week. Now a new documentary profiles the work of this man with little education and no public notoriety, trying his best to care for the voiceless and defenseless.
Here’s a brief scene from the documentary The Drop Box, which will be released in over 700 theaters across the U.S. for three nights only (March 3, 4, and 5). To buy tickets and view the theater map, go to www.thedropboxfilm.com.
