Unfortunate Brothers:
Korea's Reunification Dilemma

Since the armistice agreement at the end of the Korean War in 1953, tensions between the two nations--still technically at war--have shown little sign of abating.In their sixty years apart, the two Koreas have taken dramatically different paths. Changing opinions in South Korea, a generation gap, North Korean nuclear ambitions, and security concerns from the U.S, China and Japan all hinder potential reunification.

Shot over the course of three years, Unfortunate Brothers: Korea's Reunification Dilemma seeks to explore these issues by following Mr. Lee, a North Korean defector trying to adjust to life in his newly adopted South Korean homeland. Through Mr. Lee's intensely personal account of his journey from North Korea, as well as expert interviews, the film tries to unravel the riddle of Korean unification and promote deeper understanding of two countries many of us know little about.
