Program Note
South Korea participated in the Vietnam War as an ally of the United States achieved the so-called "Vietnam Special" economic growth, which was the pride of the veterans. Behind it, however, there were the massacres of civilians conducted by Korean troops in many villages in Vietnam, but the South Korean government is avoiding comment. Director Lee-Kil Bora′s film, A War of Memories records Nguyen Thi Thanh, the only survivor of Phong Nhi Phong Nhat massacre, where civilians were killed during the Vietnam War. Having lost all of her family at the age of eight and survived by herself, she is an open witness to the massacre of Vietnamese civilians and demands an official apology from the Korean government. Until her testimony, Korean civic groups supported her and offered apologies on behalf of the government, but she is adamant. She says the perpetrator is responsible for the fault. Isn′t it so natural for her to attend Wednesday Rally when she visited Korea at the beginning of the film, asking what attitude we should show before the tragedy of this big war? (Huh Kyoung)
