We have two films that shed rare light on this dangerous development, PYONGYANG DIARIES and WAR AND PEACE.

In a recent review, Columbia University Professor Charles Armstrong called the documentary PYONGYANG DIARIES, "Rare and unusual... The film stands virtually alone... in its balanced, non-ideological and humane attempts to get 'inside' the DPRK and show some of the contradiction, complexity, and diversity of life in today's North Korea. Makes a great contribution to awareness of this little-seen and poorly understood country."

Filmed over three years in Asia and the United States, after the 1998 nuclear tests on the Indian sub-continent, WAR AND PEACE documents the current, epic journey of peace activism in the face of global militarism and war.
