The theme of forced separation amongst loved ones is one of the most
painful human experiences. The film shows people's desires to be
united. Korea is the only country today, which is still divided by
war. War has caused millions of people to be forcefully separated
and left them suffering. This film was a way to address those
issues. The story is based on true events and reflects the millions
of people and casualties of the war today. It gives a voice to the
survivors of the ongoing conflict, who have been cut off from the
rest of the world for the last 60 years. During the making of the
film, we observed the insufficient conditions and lack of
infrastructure of the country of North Korea. Their desire to make a
film that expresses their motivations has brought everyone together
to make a film of this nature. Unlike all other films produced under
strict orders and for propaganda purposes by the government, this
film gives a voice to the citizens of North Korea with hopes to
bring peace and reunification one day. |
