Join us for a special screening and discussion with the director of the film Winter Butterfly. The director, Kim Gyoo-min, is from North Korea. The film portrays the severe food shortages people face in North Korea. Don't miss this special opportunity to gain Kim Gyoo-min's insight into his film and life in North Korea.

'Winter Butterfly' follows the life of a mother and son who live on the edge of North Korean society, barely scraping by and getting enough to eat by collecting and selling wood. The film follows the pair as they spiral into despair. (Warning: Some viewers may find parts of the film disturbing.)

'Winter Butterfly' is based on lives Kim Gyoo-min personally witnessed in North Korea. Kim is one of only a few film directors who are from North Korea. Winter Butterfly has been screened at the United Nations.
