North Korea: A Filmmaker Walks The Tightrope

Mon, May 5 8:00 P.M. NH World (11.3)  

Filmmaker Yang Yonghi is a second-generation Korean resident of Japan. Her internationally acclaimed films have focused on her family, torn between Japan and North Korea. Her parents, activists in a pro-North association of Korean residents of Japan, sent Yonghi's three brothers to live in North Korea when they were still in their teens. During the decades of separation that followed, Yonghi has used her films to explore conflicted feelings about her family. Her search for identity continues and is captured through NORTH KOREA: A FILMMAKER WALKS THE TIGHTROPE ─ striking a tenuous balance of love, politics and history.
