Yu Woo-Sung who had been working as a civil servant is on trial for espionage following his sibling’s confession. A reporter who has been laid off begins following the traces of a spy story manipulated by a government agency. The clues lead to a confession and false evidence that society and the press have turned their back on.
Directed by Choi Sung Ho, this documentary is a good counterpart to Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang, which Erika3sis has shown, more focusing internally on Korean CIA / National Intelligence Service shenanigans with spy cases. It’s apparently quite critical of them, according to ROK sympathizers, perhaps to a fault.
