This asynchronous NCTA short course guides participants on an exploration of themes prevalent in the post-Korean War era in South Korea; themes such as economic hardship, family troubles, refugee status, and the clash of old and new values. Using the lens of the lower and refugee classes, participants will focus on two films exploring what the immediate post-war era was like for those of the periphery during the beginning of industrialization in the capital city Seoul. These two films offer opposite endings, hopeful and bleak, to contrast and highlight the fears, insecurities, dreams, and hopes that many families faced during this turbulent time.
