"Repatriation" Wins at Fribourg Fest

Local documentary "Repatriation" has won an award at the 19th Fribourg International Film Festival in Switzerland, which was held from March 6-13. The same honor was also given to another documentary "Darwin's Nightmare".

Directed by Kim Dong-won, the local documentary deals with the lives of former North Korean spies and soldiers residing in the South and their journey home.

"This Charming Girl" by Lee Yoon-ki, another local feature film in the festival, failed to win an award, but gained a special mention.
