Special program KOREAN WAR REMEMBERED examines the history and human effects of the Korean War, a war that most Americans now remember little about. From the imprint warfare’s brutality etched upon the psyches of individual soldiers and civils (A Day In 1951) to the continuing pain of separation and destruction of families torn apart by their country’s division (Memory of a Forgotten War) — the two films are able to invoke the emotionally vivid memories of the war that broke out 50 years ago, but is still resounding today. The films are followed by a panel with scholar, filmmaker Ramsay LIEM and writer Grace CHO (author of “Haunting the Korean Diaspora: Shame, Secrecy and the Forgotten War”), moderated by Sukjong HONG, Open City Creative Non-Fiction Fellow at Asian American Writers’ Workshop and member of Nodutdol for Korean Community Development.
