Skater Girl – Sisterhood, Rebelliousness, Social Castes, and Skateboarding
This little Netflix film was very inspirational. It passes the Bechdel test, and features a different worldview with rural Indian representation.
Kickback
Idol singer Eun-chae, on the verge of being expelled from the industry due to a scandal, suddenly receives news of her father's death — along with an inheritance: a heavily indebted taekwondo gym.

Together with his hobby-class students — each carrying their own story — he dedicates himself to training with the goal of winning a national championship. When Eun-chae returns to her hometown intending to sell the gym, her ex-boyfriend, Soo-yeol, a second-generation chaebol, makes her an irresistibly dangerous offer...
