Boise State to Present Screening of Documentary 'Seoul Train'

Boise State University, in partnership with Idaho Public Television and the Independent Television Service, will present a screening of �Seoul Train� at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 15 in the Student Union Bishop Barnwell Room. �Seoul Train� will run again at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 16 in the second-floor lounge at BSU West. Each screening will be followed by a question-and-answer session, and both are free and open to the public.

�Seoul Train� examines the growing and potentially explosive humanitarian crisis threatening East Asian peace: the lives and deaths of North Koreans as they try to escape their homeland and China. �Seoul Train� tells the story of the politics and bureaucracy that refugees are forced to deal with, as well as the story of the activists who put themselves in harm�s way to save them via an underground railroad.

�Seoul Train� is part of the Diverse Perspectives Film Series, a community engagement project. Films are selected from the Emmy award-winning public television series Independent Lens, which airs on Idaho Public Television at 10 p.m. each Tuesday. The next film in the series, �Negroes with Guns,� will be screened Jan. 18-19 at Boise State and BSU West.
