Released on Aug. 13 and riding a word-of-mouth craze thanks to enthusiastic support from audiences, the documentary film "Independence Army: The Unfinished War," which centers on the life of General Hong Beom-do and covers Korea's independent war history, surpassed 50,000 cumulative viewers.
"Independence Army: The Unfinished War" is a documentary film jointly produced by the Hong Beom-do General Memorial Association and the Liberation Association to mark the 80th anniversary of liberation in 2025. Focusing on the fierce independence struggle of Hong Beom-do, commander-in-chief of the Korean independence forces, it recalls the courage and sacrifice of the independence fighters and shows how that spirit continued into today's Republic of Korea Armed Forces.
It asks what a military that protects the lives, property and peace of the people should look like, and suggests ways the armed forces can establish themselves as a respected community among the people. Amid audience praise, inquiries for group screenings have continued steadily. Group screenings have been held at Jeollanam-do provincial government office and Gwangmyeong city hall, and inquiries continue from government offices and schools nationwide, so more group screenings are expected to take place.
Also, a free screening is expected to take place on the lawn plaza of the National Assembly on the evening of the 25th, showing that the strong enthusiasm for "Independence Army: The Unfinished War" continues.
Riding word of mouth amid praise from real viewers and surpassing 50,000 cumulative attendees, the long-running documentary "Independence Army: The Unfinished War," which is receiving a flood of group screening inquiries, is being shown in theaters.
