North Korea: Beyond the DMZ
By Deirdre Griswold
At last a movie has been made by a U.S. film crew about North Korea that makes an effort to understand that country, not just demonize it.
"North Korea: Beyond the DMZ" is a Third World Newsreel release produced by J.T. Takagi and Hye Jung Park and edited by Dena Mermelstein. The one-hour film has been screened twice in New York theaters to capacity audiences, made up largely of young Koreans, and will be seen soon in Philadelphia and Los Angeles.
The film answers the Bush administration's charge that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is part of an "axis of evil" by following the experiences of a young Korean-American woman as she travels to the North in search of long-lost relatives.
