The film exposes the atrocities of war through the eyes of two children who are stranded in the DMZ after the end of the Korean War. The DMZ, strewn with abandoned tanks, dead bodies, landmines, and unexploded shells, is an exceedingly dangerous place for children. But what most endangers them, in the end, are not weapons but people. Edit Translation

History Lesson???
I'm sitting here pondering over how best to describe The DMZ when there are only 3 speaking roles with very little speaking involved. The visuals are the driving force in The DMZ, and could be used as a supplement in a history lesson on the Korean War.Studying the Korean War lead me to dramas and movies from my favorite country (aside from my own country (USA) and those from which my ancestors came (Germany/France, Ireland/Scotland)).
I watched because I've been fascinated with the Republic of Korea's history. Watch purely FOR the history, and for the history of the black & white film. It's rare to be able to see outside of the regional area. You can find it on YouTube as of the date of this review.
