BRUNSWICK — Regis Tremblay, an independent documentary filmmaker from Woolwich, will present a short film regarding Jeju Island, South Korea.
The presentation, which is open to the public, will be in the Morrell Community Room at Curtis Memorial Library from 3 to 5 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 18.
Tremblay spent three weeks filming a documentary about a five-year-old protest by the villagers of Gangjeong Village, where an American naval base is being constructedto accommodate the United States’ “Asian Pivot.”
Tremblay says the waters of this area are home to rare and endangered species, dolphins and coral reefs that will be destroyed by the construction of the base and the activity of U.S. and South Korean navies.
The base will also bring an end to a century’s old way of life for the farmers and fishermen of this village and the surrounding villages, he said.
