Next Wednesday, March 12, at 12 noon and again at 7 p.m., the Center for Nonviolence will be showing The Ghost of Jeju, a shocking documentary about the struggle of the people of Jeju Island, S. Korea. Set in the context of the American presence in Korea after World War II, the film reveals horrible atrocities at the hands of the U.S. Military Government of Korea. Using previously secret and classified photos, film and documents, this will be the first English-language documentary about the struggle of the brave people of Gangjeong Village who are opposing the present military advance of the United States, just as their parents and relatives did in 1947, which will destroy their 400 year old village and their UNESCO protected environment. The film’s director, Regis Tremblay, will be at both showings (12 noon and 7 p.m.) and is being accompanied by a Korean activist and musician, JoyakGol, who has offered to play during the potluck at 6:30 p.m. It is free and open to the public.
