The Korean War

In Hamilton, Sang boards the formidable battleship HMCS Haida to meet HooJung Jones Kennedy, a community organizer and Korean War veterans advocate. Over a picnic of buddae jjigae (army base stew) shared with two aging but spirited veterans, HooJung shares the story of her mother’s incredible escape from North Korea at the end of the war. Sang sits down for a cup of makgeolli (rice wine) with a young filmmaker who has an equally high-stakes family story involving the war. Sang rehashes his experiences with his old friend, Dale Yim, over a delicious bowl of the classic Pyongyang cold noodle dish, naengmyeon, at Dale’s restaurant, Song Cooks.
