The Base

Uploaded by thebasefilm on Jan 21, 2012
The South Korean Government is constructing a naval base on Jeju Island. Officially designated the "Island of World Peace," Jeju was the scene of a massacre in which 30,000-60,000 civilians were estimated to have been slaughtered during a democratic uprising in 1948. This genocide was conducted under United States military government rule by South Korean security forces. The pain of this dark past is ever present and has yet to heal.
Located strategically in the Korea Strait, the island's potential to become a military target in the event of an armed conflict in this tense region would increase exponentially with the addition of a naval base. The threat this poses to the men, women and children of Jeju Island is unconscionable, and it can be avoided through halting the base construction. Throughout Jeju´s history whenever a military has been present on the island it has brought with it death and bloodshed.
The Base is the inspiring tale of a humble fishing and farming community. Men, women and children determined to fight military and corporate giants with their bare hands, in pursuit of a vision of Peace shared for generations.

Please help the people in Jeju Island of South Korea~.....
The South Korean Government suppresses the people.
The people want to keep their beautiful Island. They've lived there since they were born.
But the Government is destroying and stealing the Island or their homes from them for making the Base.
Most of korean don't want it.
Only 1% of korean and the President Lee's Government want it.
We are afraid...... Please HELP~
