DESCRIPTION:CLOSING NIGHT & FILM SCREENING for North Korea Awareness Week at UC 
 Berkeley  REPATRIATION (Berkeley premiere)  Dong-won Kim  Winner of Freedom 
 of Expression Award, Sundance Film Festival 2004  ( 149 min / 35mm / 2003 / 
 In Korean with English subtitles )  REPATRIATION ("Songhwan")  In the 
 spring of 1992 filmmaker Dong-won Kim met Cho Chang-son and Kim 
 Seak-hyoung, two North Koreans arrested by South Korean authorities years 
 before. Convicted of spying for the North, they had spent thirty years as 
 political prisoners. These men, and many others like them, underwent 
 conversion schemes in prison that involved torture—those who renounced 
 their communist beliefs were released from prison early. The others, known 
 as “the   unconverted,” served their full terms. None were able to 
 return home to North Korea, however, until the extraordinary exchange 
 following the historic June 15 North-South Summit in 2000. Director 
 Dong-won Kim followed these men for ten years, documenting how they 
 survived—both physically and   psychologically—the dehumanizing time 
 spent in prison, and their quest, once released, to finally go home.  For
