‘Flower Garden’ – Heart Aching Reality of Today’s North Korea

“At the moment we breathe, North Korean Flower Gardens are flourishing with our indifference.”

Kwon Soon Do, a young movie director, showed a documentary film titled Flower Garden at the Seoul Summit: Promoting Human Rights in North Korea. Many audience members were almost moved to tears. We upload the film on this site. Let all of us be spores to be drifted here and there revealing the realities of North Korea.

The spores will turn into buds and then stems. That will further turn the dead Flower Garden into a hopeful Flower Garden. Let us make ourselves be able to say, “I did something for North Korean people,” when the time comes.

Flower Garden is the heart aching reality of today’s North Korea.
