The Korean Divide - Inside the DMZ
March 29, 2016
The DMZ divides the Korean Peninsula in two, along the 38th parallel. It is under UN administration and, since the end of hostilities between opposing sides on the Korean Peninsula in 1953, it has been a symbol of the harsh reality of the Asian nation’s divide. For the first time a team of non-military observers has been allowed to film inside the DMZ. Together with author Kim Hoon, the camera team undertakes a journey of discovery in this Cold War no man’s land.
A hidden world is revealed as we visit its secrets: for example the tunnels built by the North Koreans that extend deep into the territory of the South. We visit the barracks where soldiers are are given psychological care to enable them to cope with the long, solitary hours of guarding against the threat from the North. The film also shows the mass graves dating back over half a century of Russian, American, Chinese and Korean soldiers.
