DESCRIPTION:Memory of a Forgotten War\nFilm (37 min) and Discussion on the Korean 
 War\n\n   The Korean War of 1950-53 devastated the Korean people while it 
 enriched the capitalists of America and Japan. The war also established the 
 military-industrial complex as a central institution of American life. This 
 year marks the sixtieth anniversary of the official end of a war that in 
 reality has never ended. We have a rare opportunity to view a 2013 film 
 whose World Premier at the SF International Asian Film Festival on March 18 
 is already sold out.\n   "Memory of a Forgotten War" introduces Americans 
 to the lived experience and legacies of a war that forged a lasting, 
 complex relationship between Korea and the United States. The Korean War 
 opened the door to a complex economic, military, and cultural relationship 
 to Korea that continues to play a central role in U.S. policy in Asia. As 
 painfully evident today, the status of the Korean War as unfinished, 
 stalemated in an armistice agreement, challenges us to prevent a renewal of 
 the conflict and to reconcile our differences. The voices of Korean 
 American survivors express the urgency of these objectives, deepen our 
 collective memory of the "Forgotten War," and humanize the costs of 
 military conflict. The film's Co-Director/Producer, Deann Borshay Liem, wil 
 join our discussion.  The film will be introduced by Gene Ruyle of the ICSS 
 and an activist with Veterans for Peace.\n\nSunday, March 24, 2013\n10:30
