 Please join the Korea Club on Wednesday, March 13, to observe a presentation by Dodge Billingsley, Director, Combat Film and Research, on the public and political discourse regarding to the situation on the Korean Peninsula. He will also discuss the thoughts behind and the making of Unfortunate Brothers: Korea's Unification Dilemma and screen clips from the film.
From its inception in 2009, the making of Unfortunate Brothers implies a multitude of choices that ultimately determined the film's storyline and choice of characters. From Heaven Lake to Tumen, from Hanawan to densely packed Myeong-dong, from the Blue House to the DMZ, and from former North Korean Commando Kim Shin Jo to former ROK Marine Commandant, Gen (Ret) Kim Myung Hwan, Mr. Billingsley will examine those choices and the film's portrayal of the question of Korean reunification.
Shot over the course of three years, Unfortunate Brothers: Korea's Reunification Dilemma seeks to explore these issues by following Mr. Lee, a North Korean defector trying to adjust to life in his newly adopted South Korean homeland. Through Mr. Lee's intensely personal account of his journey from North Korea, as well as expert interviews, the film tries to unravel the riddle of Korean unification and promote deeper understanding of two countries many of us know little about.
To attend this event, please email Ms. Linda Kim, Director for Programs, at LK@keia.org

In March 2014, an important civil nuclear energy agreement between South Korea and the United States is set to expire. Given the significant interests that are at stake for each state, negotiating its renewal is proving to be no easy task for either government. On the one hand, South Korea is hoping to become a competitive global nuclear energy supplier by pushing for greater nuclear sovereignty, including the right to enrichment and reprocessing of U.S. supplied nuclear materials. On the other hand, there are those in the U.S. and the broader international community who are concerned that U.S. approval of such sensitive nuclear activities in South Korea would negatively affect global non-proliferation efforts, diplomacy with North Korea, and regional stability.
