... fascinating hour-long film made by a German Catholic priest/missionary (Father Norbert Weber (sp?), a Benedictine monk or priest) in 1925
...also contains still photos Weber shot on an earlier trip to Korea in 1911. It shows a lot of things that none of us, and almost no living Korean, has ever seen. I think it should be shared widely
...put together as a KBS Special but somehow comes to us through Chinese hands.

--more background:
Norbert Weber, the former arch abbot of St. Ottilien and the author of the documentary from 1925, passed away in 1956 (his dates are 1870-1956). The missionary you interviewed, I would think, was probably Corbinian Schr?fl (???, 1901-1990). Schr?fl had been a missionary in Yanji /Y?n?gil (in former Pukkando), and then later in the South, after the communists cosed down the abbeys in NE China and North Korea.
