In Crossings, a group of women peacemakers — including two Nobel laureates and Gloria Steinem— cross the demilitarized zone (DMZ) from North to South Korea, calling for an end to a 72-year war that has divided the Korean peninsula. The challenges the women face, the obstacles they overcome, and the solidarity and trust they build as they forge a path to peace with their Korean sisters is an inspiring story of bridge building and collective action.

Screening followed by a panel discussion with filmmaker Deann Borshay Liem and peace activists.

Organized by University of Pennsylvania Government and Politics Association in collaboration with Korea Peace Now! Philadelphia and Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, Greater Philadelphia Branch. Cosponsored by the Andrea Mitchell Center for Democracy, the Wolf Humanities Center, and Anak Bayan.
