Korea: Mother and son reunite after 68 years of separation

Описание: Imagine losing your child in the chaos of war and being reunited decades later. This is the extraordinary story of Lee Geumsum, a 91-year-old woman who is about to meet her son after 68 years of separation.

In 1951, during the Korean War, Lee was a young mother in her 20s, fleeing the violence with her two children. Amid the chaos of hunger, disease, and endless wandering, she lost sight of her 4-year-old son while breastfeeding her infant daughter. That tragic moment haunted her for nearly seven decades.

Fast forward to today: living in Seoul, she received a letter from the "Croix Rouge" with astonishing news, her son is alive, in North Korea, and wants to see her. Their reunion is part of the rare and emotional family reunions facilitated between the two Koreas.

Join us as we follow Lee's journey to reconnect with her son after a lifetime apart, a poignant tale of love, resilience, and the human cost of war.
