On January 14, 1987, student activist Park Jong-chul of Seoul National University was tortured to death during a police interrogation. The causes of his death were attempted to be concealed by falsifying the death certificate, but the truth nevertheless became public, serving as a catalyst for even more massive protest demonstrations known as the June Democratic Movement. The result was the holding of the first democratic presidential elections in December 1987, when South Korea rid itself of a dictatorial regime.
The film's release is timed to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the first democratic elections in South Korea.
Filming took place from April 20 to August 27, 2017.
The film was cited as a source of inspiration by protesters in Hong Kong in 2019, where it was shown on the streets in makeshift cinemas.
The film is banned in China.
