아름다운 청년 전태일(1995) / A Single Spark(Aleumda-un cheongnyeon Jeon Taeil)

A fugitive law student researching the life of Jeon Tae-il, a garment worker who set himself on fire in 1970 protesting sweatshop conditions, finds his own underground life starting to mirror the man he is writing about. The film moves between their two stories until the line separating the biographer from his subject nearly disappears.
