SYNOPSIS

A documentary that Jangsangotmae produced before The Night Before Strike. It vividly records the workers’ struggles that began in 1987 and continued through 1988 to 1989. The filmmakers went all over the country to document the struggles including the strike at Hyundai Heavy Industries in Ulsan, of the Machang Labor Union, the strike and solidarity of the subway union, the struggles to form a Samsung union and the Korean Teachers and Education Workers' Union, where the camera also starkly contains the tyrannical suppression by capitalist power and the previous government. Part of the footage taken at the time was later used in The Night Before Strike and Opening the Closed School Gates.
