- Dear Pyongyang by Yonghi Yang, great documentary about a North Korean Family in Japan and in Korea, especially a a father seen by his Korean daughter with a kind of korean-japanese point of view. Great movie !!!! Recommended !

- Pacchigi by Kazuyuki Izutsu. "Romeo and Juliet" between north-korean and japanese in Japan.

- Chi to hone by Yoichi Sai. 

Seb.

 > If you're also interested in film portraying Koreans resident in Japan with North Korean nationality, then in Isao Yukisada's Go, the hero is a resident Korean who attends a chongryun school. His father holds a North Korean passport and later in the film renounces this in favour of South Korean nationality so that he can go on holiday to Hawaii.

I am a Politics student writing my Masters on North Korea and fear in 
Japan. As a means of tapping popular sentiment, I was hoping to examine 
some movies that depict North Korea or North Koreans (or hot topics, 
such as fushinsen or the abduction issue) from the Japanese perspective. 
I hope I can pick the brains of some of the forum members on this issue. 
If anyone can think of any films between 1990 and today that fit the 
bill, I would be very glad to hear about them.

I can only think of Nihon igai zenbu chinbotsu off hand. Perhaps 
Umizaru, although I am not sure if the film is as relevant as I hear the 
drama might be. Apart from those, does anyone know how popular Shiri 
(Swiri, 1999 - South Korean movie by Kang Je-gyu) in Japan?

Any help would be appreciated,

With kind regards,
