WATCH NOW: On the HIFF Facebook.
On November 15, 2021, Women Cross DMZ’s Christine Ahn joined Deann Borshay Liem, Mimi Han, and Ann Wright for a conversation as part of the Film for Thought series presented by the Hawai’i Council for the Humanities and the Hawai’i International Film Festival (HIFF). Moderated by Vernadette Gonzalez, Professor of American Studies at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, the panel discusses the film Crossings, which was directed by Deann Borshay Liem and premiered at HIFF, that tells the story of Women Cross DMZ’s historic crossing of thirty women peacebuilders across the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) separating North and South Korea to call for an end to the war with a peace agreement, the reunion of divided families, and women’s inclusion in the peace process.

The kickoff event in PDF’s 40th Anniversary event series and celebrations!
This event featured a panel of representatives from PDF’s 2017-2019 Women Peacemakers Initiative, including Women for Genuine Security, Women Cross DMZ, Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom and Whose Knowledge?
The Women Peacemakers Initiative culminated in a gathering of eighteen women in San Francisco’s Women’s Building in March of 2019. The women, most of whom led groups fiscally sponsored by PDF, came from many countries, including Japan, Korea, France, India, Burkina Faso, Albania, Brazil, the U.S. and the U.K. Together, they explored what a feminist foreign policy could look like and helped to build a stronger coalition working for peace.
