"What happens when the mask you wear online becomes the person you can’t escape in real life?"
"And What happens your online persona causes a collision in your physical reality and your family?"
"What are you going to do if that triggers the issues you've been ignoring for years?"
Cho is a university student living a double life. To his father in South Korea, he is a dedicated son on the verge of graduation. To his thousands of anonymous subscribers, he is a rising far-right provocateur.
With his father arriving in London for their first meeting in 15 years, Cho’s carefully curated world begins to fracture. When a "doxing" attack exposes his identity during a live stream, the digital vitriol spills into the physical world. Stalked, threatened, and cornered, Cho must navigate a collapsing web of lies before his father discovers the truth.
Blending autobiographical elements with a gripping fictional narrative, Language of Joe and Cho is an intense one-actor exploration of digital radicalisation, familial duty, and the violent collision between our online personas and physical reality.
