“Queen of the Morning Calm” follows 29-year-old immigrant sex worker Debra, and her self-aware 10-year-old daughter Mona, as they embark on a journey of emancipation. Debra attempts to escape cycles of abuse and poverty while learning to become a more nurturing mother and discovering her own self-worth.
“I’m a survivor of violence. This has affected how I walk in the world. Most people are really uncomfortable when I talk about it — they would rather I shut up. Well, I won’t.” — Writer/Director Gloria Ui Young Kim
Why “Queen of the Morning Calm” Matters & Why You Should Watch It:
“Women are for sale,” Kim explains. “This is just a fact. The strength of the #MeToo Movement comes from our collective female consciousness finally rising up in outrage at being told to shut up and be pretty. We won’t. I want to change the prevailing notion that women are victims, that we are a commodity and that we need a man to survive. We don’t have to keep taking it. Instead, I say we are the heroes of our own journey, that we can tell our own stories, and that a mother and a daughter can band together and be each other’s true love.
“Queen of the Morning Calm” is a story for our own times. It’s a story of redemption. It’s a story of love. It’s a story of hope. And it’s a story of advocacy. It’s a very personal story for me, and it’s something I am compelled to do out of my own history of violence and my own journey of healing and self-acceptance. Let’s show the world that women’s experience matters. Let’s help our women and girls.”
