Since South and North Korea's liberation in 1945, North Korea, a communist dictatorship that suppresses freedom and oppresses human rights, and South Korea, which has entered the path of economic prosperity and advanced countries based on freedom and democracy, have taken different paths. How did the two countries with the same language, history, and race, become divided into two extreme countries? A work that highlights the sacrifices and struggles of President Syngman Rhee and the first generation of founding members who worked to create and protect today's Republic of Korea over the past 70 years of history.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative through archival footage and testimonies, relying on the stark contrast between the two political trajectories. It explores not just historical milestones but the profound cost paid for sovereignty and economic prosperity.

What lingers after viewing is a sobering reflection on the fragility of freedom and the complex legacy of nation-building. — MovieFinder Editorial
