STH Lowell Event featuring Documentarian Dai Sil Kim-Gibson

Join us for a viewing of the documentary, People Are the Sky: A Journey to North Korea with Dai Sil Kim-Gibson, and a conversation with the director. This is a personal film connecting two ideas: search for home and ordinary people as the sky. After losing her Iowa farm boy husband Don—her home—in 2009, a northern Korea born Korean American filmmaker makes a pilgrimage to her place of birth in North korea for the first time in nearly 70 years, to explore if it is still home. Searching for home in the cities and mountains of the country shrouded in myth and misunderstanding, she meets ordinary citizens, in-min. Eventually she finds home not in places, not in North Korea as a country, but in the ordinary people. This event is free and open to the public due to the generous support of the Lowell Foundation. Contact Jaclyn Jones at jkjones@bu.edu or 617-353-2349 to RSVP for this event.
