What happens

Hockey Dreams on Oskari Pastilan ja Janne Niskalan ohjaama dokumenttielokuva vuodelta 2022. Se tehtiin suomalais-eteläkorealais-tšekkiläis-norjalaisena yhteistuotantona. Elokuva käsittelee Etelä-Korean jääkiekkomaajoukkuetta, joka sai kisojen isäntämaan roolissa Pyeongchangin talviolympialaisiin automaattisen kisapaikan. Maajoukkue ei tätä aiemmin ollut koskaan pelannut jääkiekon arvokisoissa. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
