The Six Day Fight In Myong Dong Cathedral

Director
Dong-won Kim
Info
1997 | 74min | Color+B&W | DV | English subtitles

 

Synopsis

This film is a diaristic reconstruction of the six day stay-in strike at Myoung Dong Cathedral which intiated June Resistance in 1987. The director were with the strikers at that time. His own experience and memory of this event is very important ground for the film production ten years after. Myoung Dong Cathedral couldn't have become a symbol of movement for democratization of korea, without this historic strike. The stay-in strike was not planned. A part of street demonstrators, pushed by the police to disperse them, happened to gather into Myoung Dong Cathedral. There were organized students and workers among them but majority are individual citizens. With its rich images and interviews of the participants, shows how the unplanned strike became a symbol of June resistence. Tracing back the strike in which confusion and conflict often occurred among the strikers, the film reconstructs national attention to the strike and the people's passion for democratization of the nation. The multi-dimensional reconstruction of debate regarding how to finish the strike, in particular, strikingly suggests the limitation of secular politics.
