This move is "The DMZ (directed by Park Sangho, 1965)," filmed inside the Demilitarized Zone for the first time in 12 years since the signing of the Armistice Agreement. The film exposes the atrocities of the war through the eyes of war orphans. Stranded in the Demilitarized Zone, the children try to cook potatoes by using landmines as a rack. Yet, the mines explode as they run away from soldiers, which leads to emergency 'armistice talks.' The actual Demilitarized Zone can be seen during the summit scenes.
