Forgotten Warriors

Directed by Kim Jin-yeol

A documentary about the unconverted long-term women prisoners who had been captured as communist guerillas in South Korea and despite decades of imprisonment and social ostracization continue to uphold their cause of reunification and national democracy. The film follows the women as they attend reunification rallies, meet with a new generation of activists, march in protest of the war in Iraq, visit the DPRK to take part in the Inter-Korean Women’s Reunification Rally, reminisce with their comrades, tend to their families, and bury their comrades.
