Aichi Triennale 2019

South Korea's Lee Myung-bak administration, which was already in crisis soon after his inauguration due to reports on BSE (mad cow disease) in US beef in 2008, launched a blatant campaign of intervention in major broadcasters KBS and MBC. Programs and management personnel critical of the administration were eliminated, and new management installed by the administration carried out widespread disciplinary measures and dismissals. The Park Geun-hye administration, which took power in 2012, took the same approach, and of the course of about nine years the government thoroughly crippled the mass media. This film exposes those in power in the broadcasting industry as "accomplices" to the president and other government officials who were the main perpetrators in destroying freedom of the press and freedom of expression. At the end of the film we are presented with the names of an incredible number of people who have fought for freedom of the press and lost their positions as a result.
