Description of the program:

Uri Hakkyo (Our School) is a documentary film about Korean students in a Chongryon-run (North Korean-funded elementary, middle and high school in Hokkaido. A Korean national, producer Kim Myeong-joon, was simply interested in how Koreans could educate their children in Japan, so he decided to follow 3^rd– and 4^th-generation students and their teachers for 3 years, filming their classes, school events, recruiting visits to Zainichi Korean families in the area, and even a school trip to North Korea. (He had to give students the camera for them to film because as a South Korean he could not go with them.) Through this film, viewers can get a glimpse into the everyday life of ethnic Koreans in Japan, their struggles, their attitude toward North Korea, their relationships with each other and with their teachers, and their hopes for themselves and their school. Uri Hakkyo (Our School) has been shown internationally since it was produced in 2006, and won the 2006 Busan International Film Festival for best documentary. After the film, we will hear from Sunhyong Nam, a product of Korean schools herself.
