[KS] RE: korean films

[Carl Webb]

On 30 January 1998, the trial of Suh Joo-sik, representative of human rights group Sarangbang, began. He was charged, inter alia, with violating the National Security Law for showing a documentary at the 1997 Human Rights Film Festival about a 1948 civil uprising on Cheju Island, which authorities claimed was subversive.

Does anyone know of information on the internet about this film producer and the film festival?  It sounds like a good source to find films about the working class.
