'저는 그들의 땅을 지키기 위하여 싸웠던 인디안들의 이야기를 기억합니다. 백인들이 그들의 신성한 숲에 도로를 만들기 위하여 나무들을 잘랐습니다. 매일밤 인디안들이 나가서 백인들이 만든 그 길을 해체하면 그 다음 날 백인들이 와서 도로를 다시 짓곤 했습니다. 한동안 그 것이 반복되었습니다. 그러던 어느날, 숲에서 가장 큰 나무가 백인들이 일할 동안 그들 머리 위로 떨어져 말과 마차들을 파괴하고 그들 중 몇몇을 죽였습니다. 그러자 백인들은 떠났고 결코 다시 오지 않았습니다….' (브루스 개그논)

[Jeju Update] Video Fwd: Life & Peace Village, Il-Gangjeong is Alive

_____________________________________________________________
*Artist Kim Min-Soo, in the Gangjeong village, Jeju Island, made the below video of total five parts (30min., 2010). The video includes the scenes of the Gangjeong villagers’ three year struggle such as the villagers’ own vote against the naval base (94%) on Aug. 20, 2007, two years’ peace pilgrim march throughout the Jeju Island, villagers’ recalling movement against the former Island Governor, peace festival etc. With the beautiful scenes of Gangjeong, it talks about villagers’ hope, frustration, anger and courage during the struggle. It was shown during the delegates' visit to Jeju on June 17, upon the No Bases Learning and Solidarity Program (June 14 to 20, 2010) and Jeju-living internationals' visit to Gangjeong on June 26, 2010.

It is Korean but the English subtitle made video will come in time. Some of you may glance what the villagers want to talk to the world, through the scenes.
