Synopsis

In this powerful true story set in 1980, a down-on-his-luck taxi driver from Seoul is hired by a foreign journalist who wants to go to the town of Gwangju for the day. Instead, they arrive to find a city under siege by the military government, with the citizens, led by a determined group of college students, rising to demand freedom. What began as an easy fare became a life-or-death struggle amid the Gwangju Uprising, a critical event in modern South Korea.
