Mija is a South Korean girl growing up on an Edenic mountainside with her grandfather and best friend: Okja, a giant, empathetic "super pig" created as part of a secret GMO experiment. When Okja is abruptly torn away from her, Mija embarks on a perilous rescue mission that places her at the center of a sinister corporate conspiracy. While Bong's trademark virtuosic set-pieces dazzle, Okja's beating heart is the connection between a girl and her super pig, made all the more poignant by the brilliant special effects that bring the animal star to unforgettable life.

A young Korean girl tries to save her friend, a genetically-modified gigantic pig, from a multinational meat company. - Criterion Distribution
South Korean teen Mija (Ahn Seo-Hyun) had a beloved if unusual lifelong friend... Okja, a genetically engineered, truck-sized "super-pig" whose corporate creators entrusted her farmer grandpa to raise. She wasn't having it when the company came to claim him-and her efforts to set him free would take her to Manhattan and a tug of war between the suits and an eccentric band of animal rights activists. Bong Joo-Han's engaging adventure co-stars Tilda Swinton, Paul Dano, Lily Collins, Jake Gyllenhaal. 120 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English (SDH); featurettes; theatrical trailer; more.
