What A Single Spark Is About
An activist with a law degree is pursued by the Park government of the mid 1970s for trying to write a book about Jeon Tae-il. Jeon Tae-il was a young tailor working in the Pyeonghwa market in Seoul who set himself on fire in November 1970, at the age of twenty two, in protest at conditions in the garment workshops; his death opened the way for trade unions in South Korea and, after them, for the democracy movement. Park Kwang-su’s ninety two minute film braids two strands together: the real story of Jeon Tae-il and the flight of the activist trying to write it five years later. The director wrote the screenplay with Hur Jin-ho, and the Jeon Tae-il Commemorative Association took part in the production.
