LISTEN TO THE SCENE
A SINGLE SPARK
Chun Tae-il, a young seamster worker at Pyounghwa Market, is struck by the deteriorated labor conditions that young seamstresses are put in. Struggling against the reality, Tae-il relentlessly petition the authorities for improvement of the working environment, but to no avail.
In November 1970, the 22-year-old Chun Tae-il burns himself into the air, with this cry, “Observe the labor law!”
Chun Tae-sam, the younger brother of the fiery martyr and currently a labor human rights activist, introduces the movie with his voice.
