Editor's Note: Due to a variety of underhanded tricks, including shadowbanning, and in some cases sudden, no-appeal account deletions by Google (YouTube), Facebook, and other major social media platforms, these films have received ridiculously small viewership. It is now up to you to push back against this illegitimate censorship by circulating them as widely as you can among friends, kin and workmates. It is not easy, granted, but it can and should be done. An undefended freedom doesn't last too long. |

My first feature documentary after visiting Jeju Island, S. Korea, in 2012. This film has been translated into 7 languages, all by volunteers, including Russian and Mandarin. I was so moved and angered by what my country had done there in 1946, before the "Korean War," that my life changed and was set on a new trajectory. This film is a must-see.—Regis Tremblay
This is the award-winning film, The Ghosts of Jeju. I went to Jeju Island, S. Korea in 2012 to document a lengthy nonviolent, peaceful protest against the construction of a large naval base to accommodate Obama's "Pivot to Asia." The base was destroying a 500 year old farming and fishing village on a pristine coastline. What I discovered made me cry and angry at what my country had done on this island immediately after WWII and before the Korean conflict. Beginning on April 3, 1946, the United States Military Government of Korea trained, equipped what they called a Constabulary and commanded their actions which led to the massacre of as many as 60,000 unarmed peasants who were seeking freedom and the right to self-determination. As the US has done with every insurgency anywhere in the world is to react with overwhelming force. This is a historical documentary, using previously classified photos and film, that exposed not only the massacre, but America's goal of full spectrum dominance of the planet.
