Join OSU’s Institute for Korean Studies for a screening of Ode to My Father. This film, which begins with a powerful depiction of the Hungnam evacuation during the Korean War, will be followed by a live Q&A with Admiral J. Robert Lunney (USN, Retired), who served on the SS Meredith Victory during the evacuation, as well as with a number of local Ohio residents who survived the ordeal.
The film traces a young boy’s steps from the battlefields of Korea and Vietnam to the German coal mines to the modern streets of South Korea, in his 60-year effort to fulfill his promise to care for his family.
