South Korea: Inside the Miracle

"South Korea is now one of the top fifteen economies in the world. Once a largely poor rural country, it is today a thriving industrialized urban economy. This program examines South Korea today and looks particularly at the human consequences of the repressive labor and political policies that have accompanied the country’s dramatic growth. The program examines both the struggle for union rights and examples of the political repression that have gripped the country for years.
