In July 1989, the 13th World Festival of Students and Youth commenced with unprecedented fanfare. In a display of anti-imperialist unity, 22,000 people from 177 countries arrived in Pyongyang for the event. That summer, which followed the Tiananmen Square protests and preceded the Romanian Revolution, the world order was on the brink of seismic change. Bright Future captures a pivotal moment in the youth struggle for democracy.
