Un Kyong Ho straddles the worlds of academia, community organizing, documentary filmmaking, and social impact producing. She has helped produce award-winning documentaries for both film and television, including the Emmy- and Peabody Award-winning PBS series A Chef's Life and the Emmy-nominated HBO documentary Private Violence.

She is the mother of two and a regular attendee at her local school board meetings.
