Korean Documentary Awarded in Amsterdam Festival

A Korean film was honored at the 22nd International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA) last week.

"Iron Crows" directed by Park Bong-nam received the NPS IDFA prize for best mid-length documentary at the awards ceremony held on Sunday, film distributor CreativeEast said Monday.

The film reveals the desperate conditions at the world's largest ship-breaking yard, in Chittagong, Bangladesh, where workers risk their lives for meager pay.

An independent director, Park previously produced a documentary series on Islamic culture that aired on EBS.
