The course will focus on issues surrounding major political events in both South and North Korea, including Japanese colonialism, Japan-Korea relations, Korean War, military dictatorships, economic development, democratization, neoliberalism, inter-Korean relations, and US-Korea relations. Films and documentaries spanning from the 1990s to the present will highlight these political issues and events through the eyes of Korean filmmakers.
