Description

Synopsis |  After World War II, the division of the Korean Peninsula became a symbol of the most tragic balance of power created by the United States and the Soviet Union as they confronted each other in Asia. The Cold War structure between the two powers fueled self-serving conflicts within the Korean people, and the South and North, split into two governments, moved through valleys of opposing ideologies with the teeth of hostility bared.
