After being selected for screening at the 2017 Cannes festival, Bong Joon Ho's Netflix original 'Okja' will premiere exclusively on the streaming service on June 28. Check out this behind-the-scene footage featuring cast members Steven Yeun, Paul Dano, Lily Collins, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Tilda Swinton discussing the film's heroine: Mija (An Seo Hyun).
Okja tells the story of Mija, a young girl growing up in the mountains of Korea together with her pet and best friend: a giant pig named Ojka. When Ojka is captured and taken to New York by a multinational conglomerate, Mija sets out to rescue her best friend and embarks on a journey across the globe that challenges the young girl in every way.
The behind-the-scene footage features nothing but praises for the main character Mija from the cast members. Jake Gyllenhaal summed her up most perfectly: "Mija is the heart of the film... bold, boundaryless and extraordinary."
Catch Mija on her rescue mission of Okja this summer, exclusively on Netflix.
