GYOPO screened the 2021 documentary Crossings at Robinson S.P.A.C.E., which follows a group of international women peacemakers set out on a risky journey across the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea, calling for an end to a 70-year war that has divided the Korean peninsula and its people. After the film, GYOPO program committee co-chair Cathi Choi moderated a conversation between the film’s director, Deann Borshay Liem, Women Cross DMZ (WCMDZ) founder Christine Ahn, and life-long advocate and WCDMZ Board Chair Aiyoung Choi. They discussed the legacy of the Korean War and how to imagine a world free from rampant militarization for our people and for our planet.
