The film follows Mija (Seo-Hyun Ahn) as she journeys across continents, as her horizons expand in somewhat horrific way as she encounters such kid-unfriendly stuff as genetically modified food experimentation, globalization, eco-terrorism, and humanity’s obsession with image, brand and self-promotion.
Stars of “Okja” include Tilda Swinton, Jake Gyllenhaal, Lily Collins, Paul Dano, Devon Bostick, Steven Yeun and Giancarol Esposito (who’s “Breaking Bad” character will soon be making a prequel comeback in the upcoming season of “Better Call Saul”).
