I hope your film will provide audiences all over the world with an opportunity to reflect upon both the past and the future of the Korean peninsula - Harry Harris, U.S. Ambassador to South Korea

Your film was very powerful, beautiful, and sincere - Renee Fisher, Film Director

A movie you cannot watch without shedding tears as a person living in the same era in different location. - Shimokawa Masahiru, former Mainichi journalist
