Program Note
In February 2013, Park Geun-hye became the 18th President of Korea. Her career as First Lady during the Yushin regime aroused public concern about her view of history and democracy. The sequence of incidents took place in her presidency such as the Se-wol ferry disaster in 2014, the standardization of the history textbooks and the agreement of the ‘comfort women’ issue between Japanese government in 2015, and the death of Paik Nam-ki, a protestant farmer in 2016, etc. The citizens confirmed their concerns were not groundless. In October 2016, the unprecedented crackdown on state affairs was revealed. The angry citizens took to the streets shouting for Park’s resignation, and over five months of shouting finally achieved the regime change. Light A Candle, Write A History - Candlelight Revolution is the first film record of the peaceful civic power, the candlelight protests the world paid attention to. The film introduces the voices of various people at the scene of the candlelight protests. And to the current government created as a result of the protests, the film is sternly demanding not to forget their voices. (Huh Kyoung)
