Filmmakers Roundtable: A Discussion with Director Brian Iglesias

Film fans and students of military history unite for an intimate discussion with director
Brian Iglesias on the making of his award-winning independent documentary Chosin.
Brian, a Marine and Iraq veteran, embarked on this production to honor those who
sacrificed at the Battle of Chosin Reservior in the Korean War. Those who survived went
on to facilitate the first evacuation under UN auspices, and over one million Koreans
today descend from those who were assisted. The director will discuss his cross-country
journey to film those veterans still with us and the challenges of growing the production
from humble origins to award-winning heights—including a sold-out New York premiere
hosted by The Korea Society. His story is one that honors the Korean-U.S. friendship in
a compelling and heartfelt way. The director’s forum is followed by a special screening of
the film.
