</p>
<p>Set in the context of the American presence
in Korea since 1945, the film reveals
unimaginable atrocities committed at the hands
of the U.S. Military Government in Korea
immediately after WWII. It is not a history of
'<i>the Forgotten War</i>,' but for the first
time reveals the struggle of the people of
Jeju Island, S. Korea to resist US occupation.</p>
<p> The film places the modern-day protest by
the peaceful people of Jeju Island, S. Korea
against the construction of a massive US naval
base in the tiny village of Gangjeong in the
context of the massacre of as many as 80,000
of their fellow citizens only 60 years ago. </p>
<p> Using previously secret and classified
photos, film and documents, this is the first
English-language documentary about the
struggle of the brave people of Gangjeong
Village who are opposing the military advance
of the United States, just as their parents
and relatives did in 1947. As then, they are
being arrested, jailed, fined, and
hospitalized for resisting the construction of
a massive naval base that will accommodate
America's 'pivot to Asia,' and will destroy
their 400 year old village and their UNESCO
protected environment.</p>
<p> And yet, the indomitable spirit of the
villagers and their supporters, who have not
lost hope in spite of overwhelming odds, will
inspire and motivate everyone who believes
there is a better way to live together on this
planet.</p>
<p> "<i>the least we can do is to amplify their
voices, for with citizenship in America and
the world, comes responsibility.</i>" ~Regis
Tremblay, director</p>
<p> The people of Gangjeong are not alone in
this struggle opposing the U.S. military
expansion. All of the islands of the Pacific
from Hawaii to Okinawa, to Guam, The
Philippines and all the way down to Australia
are rising up against American imperialism as
the U.S. uses fear and power to coerce their
leaders to either build or open up their ports
and bases to the American military.</p>
<p> "<i>We don't want a war base on the Island
of Peace</i>." <br>
~ savejejunow.org</p>
<p> "<i>It's not easy being a flag-waving
American nationalist. In addition to having
to deal with the usual disillusion, anger,
and scorn from around the world incited by
Washington's endless bombings and endless
wars, the nationalist is assaulted by
whistle blowers like Bradley Manning and
Edward Snowden, who have disclosed a steady
stream of human-rights and civil-liberties
scandals, atrocities, embarrassing lies, and
embarrassing truths.</i>"<br>
~ William Blum</p>
<p> "<i>The double standards imposed on North
Korea remain ever apparent, as the
international community remains silent as
[US backed] South Korea expands its arsenal
of advanced military technology in an effort
to become the world's seventh largest arm
exporter</i>"<br>
~ Nile Bowie</p>

<h1>Regis Tremblay, in an introductory note to
BC :</h1>

<blockquote>
<div><i>"I must say that the </i><i><a
href="http://www.theghostsofjeju.net/">short
trailer</a></i><i> does not do justice
to the 80 min feature which includes
interviews with Prof. Bruce Cumings,
Charles Hanley (The Bridge at No Gun Ri)
several survivors of the 4/3 massacre, as
well as activists in Gangjeong Village.</i></div>
<div><i><br>
</i></div>
<div><i>Many people contributed financially to
send me to Jeju exactly a year ago when I
spent the entire month there. While the
mainstream industry has ignored the film,
activists around the world and across the
country have acclaimed it as an important
contribution to the peace movement. To
date, it has been screened in more than a
dozen countries from Sweden, down through
the Pacific to Australia, including Russia
and China.</i></div>
<div><i><br>
</i></div>
<div><i>Next month I will begin screening it
on a West Coast tour that will take me
from Berkeley, up to Oregon and Seattle,
and then over to Minneapolis. Following
that, I will be presenting it in
Washington, D.C., Charlottesville, VA,
Chicago, and Florida.</i></div>
<div><i><br>
</i></div>
<div><i>Perhaps you have heard about Oliver
Stone's recent trip to Jeju where he was
very outspoken against the construction of
the base there, and promised the people of
Gangjeong and Jeju that he would do all he
could to tell the world of their struggle.
Oliver agreed to do a promo for the film
which you will see in the trailer, and he
agreed to be in the film as well.</i></div>
<div><i><br>
</i></div>
<div><i>I offer copies of the DVD for a
donation of $20."</i></div>

<h1 class="widget-title">Testimonial</h1>
<div class="textwidget">"<i>It was a smashing
hit....people were crying and they were
clapping at the end.....I handed out the
DVD's strategically to key leaders in
various Swedish cities, and from Finland,
Norway, Denmark, Germany, Japan and
Mexico.....people passed the hat to send
money to the village but I insisted they
keep the money towards sending a
representative from Sweden to the village
ASAP......they loved the music, the story,
and the resistance.....many people sent
congrats to you....it's was a European
opening night showing......5 stars. Add
Russia to list of places I sent DVD home
with....a man who works directly for Putin</i>."
