Spirits’ Homecoming (Korean: 귀향) is a 2016 South Korean period drama film written and directed by Cho Jung-rae.[1][3] It was released in South Korea on February 24, 2016.[1][4][5][6][7] Production of the film was halted several times due to financial issues, but was revived with additional 75,200 people contributing to the production fund. The screening date was delayed due to the lack of theaters willing to show the film. However, people bought tickets in advance and issued petitions for the movie to be screened in more cinemas.[8] The first screening was March 1, the Anniversary of the Samil Independence Movement.
