North Korea: A Filmmaker Walks the Tightrope

The parents of filmmaker Yang Yonghi, activists in a pro-North association of Japanese Korean residents, sent Yonghi's three brothers to live in North Korea when they were still in their teens. During the decades of separation that followed, Yonghi used her films to explore conflicted feelings about her family. Her search for identity continues and is captured through this documentary.
