Repatriation (2003), Dong-won Kim

In the spring of 1992 documentary filmmaker Dong-won Kim met Cho Chang-son and Kim Seak-hyoung, two North Koreans arrested by South Korean authorities years before. Convicted of spying for the North, they were incarcerated and spent thirty years as political prisoners. These men, and many others like them, underwent conversion schemes in prison that involved torture: those who renounced their communist beliefs were released from prison early. The others, known as "the unconverted," served their full terms. None could return home to the North, however, until the turn of this century, when tensions between North and South eased significantly. Director Dong-won Kim followed these men for ten years, documenting how they survived -both physically and psychologically, the dehumanizing time spent in prison, and their quest, once released, to finally go home. Born in 1955 in Seoul, Kim Dong-won graduated from Sogang University, majoring in mass communication. He works as an assistant director as well as a documentary filmmaker. In 1991, Kim founded the documentary film collective P.U.R.N Production and has since produced and directed about thirty documentaries. His acclaimed documentary Repatriation (2004) documents the lives of North Korean spies who were captured in the South Korea and takes a look at their journey back to their homeland after being detained in the South's prisons for over 30 years. A labour of love that took him more than a decade to finish, it has been hailed as the most successful documentary ever in South Korea. It was presented with the Freedom of Expression Award at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival, the first time a Korean film has ever been presented with an award at the prestigious U.S. festival.[6] It also won Special Mention at the 24th Korean Association of Film Critics Awards and Special Jury Prize at the 5th Busan Film Critics Awards in 2004, as well as Best Documentary Award at the 19th Fribourg International Film Festival in 2005. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Don...) His latest documentary 63 Years On is about the comfort women enslaved by the Japanese military in stations across Asia during World War II. The film provides a historical investigation along with interviews with victims still living in Korea, China, and the Philippines.
