Korea: The Unfinished War
directed by Brian McKenna; produced by Arnie Gelbart, Christine Le Goff and Stephen Phizicky (New York, NY: Filmakers Library, 2003), 53 mins
This film documents a war where neither side was victorious nor defeated; a struggle that came very close to thermonuclear war, and that still resonates in the geopolitical machinations between East and West. From 1950 to 1953 more than a million men fought under the United Nations flag, with most of the manpower...

This film documents a war where neither side was victorious nor defeated; a struggle that came very close to thermonuclear war, and that still resonates in the geopolitical machinations between East and West. From 1950 to 1953 more than a million men fought under the United Nations flag, with most of the manpower from the United States. More Americans were killed in that war than in Vietnam. The boundary between North and South remains the most militarized zone in the world. The war is still shrouded in secrecy; questions remain about whether biological weapons were used. Korea: The Unfinished War combines archival footage, first person accounts with soldiers and civilians on both sides, direct quotes from Truman, MacArthur, Mao and Stalin, clearly showing their roles in the conflict. Atrocities on both sides are cited. In the years since there has been an uneasy truce, often broken, between the Koreas. But beyond that, the Korean War bequeathed a global hangover which haunts mankind today — biological weapons. The films investigates Chinese and North Korean charges that the U.S. secretly deployed these weapons during the war. This important film provides the background for today's fear of nuclear testing by North Korea. College Adult

The Cold War turned hot in the middle of the 20th Century. In 1950 the North Korean army launched an invasion on their countrymen in the South; signaling the beginning of the Korean War. The Soviet Union would support North Korea's Stalinist regime, while the US and its allies rallied behind the South, in an attempt to hold off the Red Threat. Millions of civilians would be killed or injured during the conflict, and cities would be destroyed. The war would reinforce the separation between communism and capitalism ideologies, and Korea, formally united, would remain divided for generations to come.

An air craft disaster, new political regimes and efforts for peace made the year 2000 a year of momentous happenings. The IRA issued a statement that it would 'put its weapons beyond use' in an effort to ensure a peaceful future for Northern Ireland. Meanwhile, at the inquest into the Omagh bombings, the coroner put the blame solely on the IRA; also saying the four weeks of hearing evidence into the disaster was a harrowing experience he would never forget. In France, a tire blow out was blamed for the crash of a Concorde, killing 114 people.
