Our School (Hangul: 우리학교; RR: Uri hakkyo) is a documentary film about the lives of ethnic Korean students in a Chongryon-run pro-North Korean highschool in Hokkaido, Japan. Released on 29 March 2007 (Sunday), a Hankook Ilbo article on April 3 (Friday) stated it had already exceeded 10,000 viewers. In the end, media reports claim it registered 85,000 or 90,000 viewer admissions in the South Korean domestic market, a far better performance than other recent documentaries such as the 2002 Yeongmae (영매, 20,000 viewers), the 2004 Repatriation (송환, 30,000 viewers) or the 2006 Bisang (비상, 40,000 viewers); it was suggested this might be a new domestic record. Director Kim Myeong-joon received the Kim Yong-gun Memorial Society prize in relation to his work on the film.

The film was released on DVD in Japan in 2009.

En 1956, le Docteur Paskowitz avait tout réussi : médecin renommé, sportif accompli, il faisait même ses débuts dans la politique locale à Hawaï. Bref, c'était le parfait exemple du rêve américain. Ou du moins le croyait-il, jusqu'à LA révélation...

In 1945, physicist and atomic scientist Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer (Hume Cronyn) praises the discovery of atomic energy, but also warns of its dangers. American scientists such as Matt Cochran (Tom Drake), working under the guidance of Dr. Enrico Fermi (Joseph Calleia) and Dr. Marré (Victor Francen), have split the atom, and essentially beaten the Germans in the race to create an atomic bomb. With the assistance of Albert Einstein (Ludwig Stössel), they inform President Franklin D. Roosevelt (Godfrey Tearle) that a monumental discovery has been made.

The film is almost documentary in its portrayal of facts. It claims to be based strongly on facts, apart from some adaptations like merging various characters into one.

Le documentaire comprend des images de l'exploration sous-marine de l'épave, accompagnées d'images de synthèse reconstituant la bataille et le naufrage du navire jusqu'à son glissement et son immobilisation sur le flanc d'un volcan sous-marin, à plus de 4 700 mètres de fond. Le documentaire comporte également des scènes à bord du Bismarck, reconstituées sur l'USS North Carolina (navire américain désarmé de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, transformé en musée à Wilmington en Caroline du Nord) ainsi que les commentaires et les témoignages d'historiens et de 2 marins survivants du naufrage, embarqués à bord du bateau utilisé pour cette expédition. Celui-ci est le navire océanographique russe Akademik Mstislav Keldysh. Ce dernier, déjà utilisé par Cameron pour une plongée sur le Titanic, va refaire le trajet emprunté par le Bismarck 61 ans plus tôt, du port de Kiel en Allemagne jusqu'au lieu de son naufrage, en Atlantique nord à 650 km au nord-ouest de Brest.

The area was originally considered worthless by European-Australian settlers, who fenced it off and abandoned it. The town was established around the start of the 20th century by German immigrant settlers. Its population increased after the first and second World Wars due to the government's policies of subsidies to encourage settlement by veterans. The people of Rainbow have struggled to eke out an existence for more than three generations, with global economics and government policy compounding the difficulties of marginal farming. The film draws from home movies from the 1940s to portray the people in this town.
