South Korea's Unlikely Buddy Comedy

Available for over a year

In the week that North Korea conducted a controversial missile test, we hear about the hit South Korean film Confidential Assignment, which portrays cooperation between secret agents from both sides of the border. Film lecturer Dr Jinhee Choi explains what it can tell us about relations between the two countries. Turkish writer Ece Temelkuran explains how living in Zagreb, and writing in English, inspires feelings of guilt about forgetting her mother tongue. Tina meets Kenyan law student Charles Muchori, whose short story about life for Nairobi’s Uber drivers went viral, and led to a knock on the door from a top Kenyan film director. Berlin based Polish artist Anna Krenz explains why the political situation in Poland pushed her to start making art again after a break, and to take it, for the first time, to the streets.
