Event Description
OUR HOMELAND (100mins)-Closing Night Presentation

Director YANG YONGHI
Japan | 2012 | 100 min | Japanese, Korean w/ES

Sent decades ago as a child to North Korea under a repatriation program, Sungho returns to Japan for a temporary medical visit. A wrenching human drama unfolds as his family grapples with why he was ever let go. Under the constant surveillance by an accompanying North Korean official, Sungho and his family reunite again in this sensitive tale inspired by Korean-Japanese director YANG Yonghi’s true family story. Capturing the tender feelings of separation, memory, and belonging, the film also provides a rare glimpse into the life of ethnic Koreans in Japan.

Followed by the AAIFF Awards Ceremony & Gala.

*This event is cosponsored by The Korea Society*
