During the long weekend I watched a film called “Silmido” or 실미도. The film was released in 2003 and it was directed by Kang Woo-seok (강우석). This film is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Korean history. I give this film a 7/10. 

Based on a true story of 1968 Korean Republic Army plan to assassinate North Korean president Kim Il-Sung. 31 criminals and death row inmates are recruited into secret training on the island of Silmi; for two years they are subjected to maximum mental and physical abuse before the mission is cancelled and the unit terminated. Written by[email protected]
