CROSSINGS, a film by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Deann Borshay Liem, captures the groundbreaking mission of Women Cross DMZ (WCDMZ), a group of international women peacemakers who sets out on a historic journey across the Demilitarized Zone from North to South Korea, calling for an end to the 74-year war that has divided the Korean Peninsula. Witness how thirty women activists dare to tread forbidden territory to draw global attention to the unresolved war and demand a seat at the table in bringing about peace. Chat about the film and the ongoing quest to end the Korean War as the first step toward reaching peace on the Korean Peninsula, with Aiyoung Choi, Chair of the Board of WCDMZ, as well as TU Professors Sel Hwahng (Assistant Professor of Women, Gender, Health, and Sexuality) and Jeong Joo Ahn (Assistant Professor, Political Science). After the screening, continue the conversation informally during a reception at Mina Cheon’s Dreaming Unification Protest Peace exhibition in the Asian Arts Gallery.
