Contents Summary
Korea is a divided nation. The psychic scar shared by millions of people, separated from their families during the Korean War in the 1950s, is symbolized by the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) dividing communist North from capitalist South. Here, along this infamous border, the director sets out on a journey into Korea’s broken heart, exploring the rhetoric and realism of reunification through the extraordinary stories of ordinary people. We meet stoic elderly Koreans holding out for news of long lost relatives in the North. We encounter the fractured lives of younger defectors, including a woman who relives her harrowing escape story every day working as a tour guide at a war memorial site. Crossing the DMZ into North Korea, we visit an inter-Korean economic project in Kaesong, the ancient capital. We gain unprecedented access to state-sanctioned family reunions held at a high security “resort”. “Tiger Spirit" is a tale of longing and hope, a portrait of Korea at a crossroads.
