Program Note
Documentarian Dai Sil Kim-Gibson is renowned for films that give voice to the voiceless and allow freedom for the oppressed. [Motherland] chronicles the lives of two Korean women in the post-Cold War years; one is a Cuban woman, a professor of philosophy, who discusses a family originally from the Yucatan. The other is American, who details her flight from northern Korea to the United States. They touch upon issues of capitalism, socialism, identity, and migration, their quest for home at the core of the film. It`s a subject that impacts millions of people in all corners of the globe at a time when the idea of home is increasingly fluid, and new homes of dignity and equality are being sought.
