Abstract

The Winter 2003 issue of AEMS News and Reviews (Vol. 6, No. 2) presents a lineup of films and videos that explore war, identity, migration, and culture across Asia. "War and Peace" investigates India's 1998 nuclear tests and their societal consequences, comparing responses in India and Pakistan, and extending to nuclear issues in Japan and the US. "Chain of Love" follows Filipina domestic workers migrating to Europe, revealing the human dimension of global care labor networks. Vietnam's post-war legacy is featured in "Gao Rang (Grilled Rice)," which offers a unique visual history of the wars through Vietnamese soldier-cameramen's eyes, and "Vietnam: The Last Battle," examining the war's devastating impact, the US embargo, and post-war economic challenges. "Kurosawa" honors the cinematic legacy of renowned Japanese director Akira Kurosawa. The "Cultural Adventures with Jan Reynolds" series introduces viewers to daily life and traditions in the Himalayas, including Sherpa culture and Tibetan life under Chinese rule. Finally, "The Crossing" recounts a dramatic mission to rescue North Korean relatives, addressing the plight of refugees and the longing for Korean reunification.
