DESCRIPTION:Film : A Taxi Driver, 2017\nFilmWorks United International Working Class 
 Film & Video Festival\nDirected by Jan Hoon (Korea)\n Gwangju, Korea is a 
 historic center of struggle for the Korean people and this powerful 
 dramatic film shows the story of the May 1980 Gwangju people’s rebellion 
 against the repressive dictator Chun Doo-hwan. His military government is 
 portrayed through the eyes of the students and taxi drivers in the city 
 under assault, the story based on actual events of that struggle. A German 
 journalist, Jürgen “Peter” Hinzpeter, wants to get the story out and 
 ends up with a Seoul taxi driver named Kim Man-seob (Song Kang-ho) who 
 really isn’t aware of what is going on there. They start off from Seoul 
 and have to get into the city where the military have locked it down and 
 are massacring protesting civilians. The role of the taxi workers in 
 supporting the people of Gwangju is a powerful story and the role of South 
 Korean troops was in fact allowed by the US, which still controls troop 
 movements in the country of South Korea.\n\n K.J. Noh, Flashpoint’s 
 Asia-Pacific correspondent, will introduce the film and moderate discussion 
 after the film.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2018/06/16/18815702.php
