An explanation of the first year(s) of the Occupation of Korea (1945-1949), and some of the key Koreans (Syngman Rhee, Kim Il-sung, Cho Man-sik, Yu Un-heong, An Ho-sang) and Foreign authorities (John Hodge, Nikolai Lebedev, etc) involved.
An interesting moment in this film is when Gregory Henderson, a former US Embassy official, admits that the reason why the USA did not conduct a joint occupation of Korea (because Korea was not an antagonist in the Pacific War, and as such an action might have kept Korea from becoming divided) was because US authorities were afraid that the Russians would have political advantages with the Koreans that the USA did not have.
Another key moment is when Dean Rusk (later the Secretary of State under Kennedy/Johnson) says that the reason he and Charles Bonesteel (both Colonels at the Pentagon in 1945) decided to separate the US and Russian occupation zones at the 38th Parallel was because it would place the country's capital, Seoul, in the US zone of occupation.
65 years later, Korea is still dealing with these decisions.
