1/9

Today in Human Geo we finished watching the movie. The rest of the movie talked more about the people who tried to escape and the consecration camps. At the end of the movie, the patients were all in one big room waiting to see if the surgery worked, and it turns out it did. After they saw the painting of their leader, they praised him and thanked him for their eyesight returning. Here are the notes that I wrote.

• In 1950, Kim Il Sung invaded the South
• 38 parallel divides North Korea and South Korea
• The DMZ is an area in the middle where both countries have guards
• The DMZ keeps citizens in and out of each country
• 40% of children in North Korea are malnourished
• Ju Che - "we don't need your help/you"
• North Korea has total self reliance
• Concentration camps are used to strike fear in the people
• Only a handful of people have successfully crossed the border and have escaped
