'Reiterations of Dissent concerns the suppressed history and fragmented memories of the Jeju April Third Uprising and Massacre of 1948. The event marked the beginning of the Cold War in Asia and took place shortly before the outbreak of the Korean War on the filmmaker's birthplace, Jeju Island, South Korea.[...] Through six different video narratives — Ghosts, Jeju Airport Massacre, Lamentation of the Dead, The Politics of Naming, Retake: Mayday and Island of Endless Rebellion — the film uncovers various underlying political motivations behind Jeju 4.3 and portrays how the event is actively negotiated in the present and resonates in the landscape of Jeju Island, in literature, in the memories of survivors and relatives, in shamanic rituals mediating between the living and the dead, and in protests against the ongoing construction of the Jeju Naval Base.' - excerpt from back of DVD cover
