Netflix has released a teaser for the original film OKJA, a bold global adventure from director Bong Joon Ho (Snowpiercer) one of the most creative and visionary filmmakers of our time. The film premieres on June 28th on Netflix.

Okja stars Tilda Swinton (Hail, Caesar!), Jake Gyllenhaal (Nightcrawler), Paul Dano (Love & Mercy), Lily Collins (Rules Don't Apply), Steven Yeun ("The Walking Dead"), and Giancarlo Esposito ("Breaking Bad").

From visionary Director Bong Joon Ho, this grand global adventure follows a friendship too big to ignore. Meet Mija, a young girl who risks everything to prevent a powerful, multi-national company from kidnapping her best friend - a massive animal named Okja. Following her across continents, the coming-of-age comedy drama sees Mija's horizons expand in a way one never would want for one's children, coming up against the harsh realities of genetically modified food experimentation, globalization, eco-terrorism, and humanity's obsession with image, brand and self-promotion.
