South Korea - A Nation Divided

At The Edge of Asia

Available for over a year

Four million tons of food was thrown away in South Korea in 2001 - enough to feed all of North Korea, which scrapes by on rice and barley. Barbed wire and minefields cut Korea in two from coast to coast, guarded by nearly two million armed men. But what does it feel like to live in a divided country? This programme explores the psychic gulf, and the sense of loss, in a divided nation. Picture: North Korea and South Korea sign posts, Credit: Getty Images
