About this Event

Film Screening: A Poet of the River

After fleeing North Korea, 18-year-old Lee Sun-hwa arrives in South Korea carrying the weight of survival and separation. As she attempts to rebuild her life through school and everyday routines, she confronts cultural distance, isolation, and the quiet persistence of longing for her family.
