Opening Film

Let’s Peace! by Park So-hyun – Korea | 2019 – 90 minutes

A nation not divided, nor under the armistice, but a nation in the end of war. What is peace for young Koreans divided into two Koreas? Young people voluntarily form a group called “Let’s Peace.” They leaves the Seoul Station with instruments, goes through the cities in Korea, and then travels by train from Vladivostok to Berlin. “Long March in the railroad”, a combination of music and youth, cheerfully encounters peace.
