As the sub-heading indicates, this video features the struggles of Korean filmmakers defending the screen quota system in Korea. This struggle begins on July of 1998, when the Ministry of Culture and Tourism proposes a reduction in the screen quota. Forming an ′Emergency Committee to Protect the Screen Quota System,′ leaders in the Korean film industry prepare systematic countermeasures. The second fight occurs in December, when more than 1200 film people show up to demonstrate their support. This struggle is extended again in June of 1999, when it is revealed that the government has held secret discussions with the U.S. about reducing Korea′s screen quota. Upon hearing this, more than 100 film people shave their heads to rally a desperate defense of the film industry. No one knows when the fight will end for sure. The video marches on with an analytical approach which reveals that, behind this screen quota crisis lies the US-lead new liberalism ideology and their cultural supremacy as a film empire. It also identifies temporarily triumphant Korean film people with the characters in ′History of Three States, utilizing symbolism and the hero-making process. Thus, Shoot the Sun by Lyric is a persuasive documentary with a combative spirit focusing on its accurate information and analysis and, at the same time, moving the news report-style documentary to another level.
