Life at the I-House

Dear students, faculty, and staff,

The International House is happy to announce the fourth film of the semester to be showed at 6:30p.m on Thursday night, February 26 in the Lindsay Young Auditorium at Hodges Library.

My Father is a South Korean movie released in 2007. Based on a true story, the movie is about an adopted son who is searching for his biological parents in South Korea. During his search he meets his real father, a condemned murderer on death row. Daniel Henney plays the lead role of James, who works as a volunteer in the United States armed forces in Korea. He asks questions of why his father is on death row and finds out things that he always wanted to know. Then he finds more and more truths unravel about his father and his life. The movie is controversial because the family of the father's victims did not support its production. In its first week on release it topped the South Korean box office sales charts.
