On Friday, April 26, 2013, the US-Korea Institute at SAIS, Sejong Society of DC, the Maureen and Mike Mansfield Foundation and the David M. Kennedy Center for International Studies will be hosting a film screening of “Unfortunate Brothers: Korea’s Reunification Dilemma,” a 50-minute documentary about historical and current issues surrounding Korea’s unification.

Shot over the course of three years, “Unfortunate Brothers: Korea’s Reunification Dilemma” explores complicated issues involving unification of the two Koreas 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 unravels the riddle of Korean unification and promotes deeper understanding of two countries many of us don’t fully understand.

This event is free to the public. A light reception will be provided beginning at 6:30 PM. The film will commence at 7:00 PM. Please RSVP below.
