South Korea holds the world's 10th highest GDP, and yet its welfare budget for disabled people is just 0.6% of this, less than one third the average of other OECD countries. In response, disabled citizens have taken to subway stations to demonstrate for their rights, especially freedom of movement. Less than 30% of South Korea's buses are wheelchair-accessible, and some of its stations lack elevators. This episode chronicles the country's disabled populace who rally for social change.
