<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>

<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 arms exporter</i>"<br>
~ Nile Bowie</p>

<p> Why should YOU care? It's YOUR money
that pays for US/Israeli wars - on Iraq,
Afghanistan, Iran, Palestine, Libya.
Syria, Iran, So America, etc etc - for
billionaire bailouts, for ever more
ubiquitous US prisons, for the loss of
liberty and civil rights...<br>

<div><i>"I must say that the </i><i><a
moz-do-not-send="true"
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. <br>

<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>." <br>
