Found these pictures - photos and paintings related to the Sam-il Movement, the Declaration of Independence which started on the 1st of March, 1919. Has ROK made any movie on this important page in its history? Would be interesting to see it done from the woman's point of view -whether it would be the wife, mother or daughter of one of the thirty-three nationalists who signed this declaration to oppose the Japanese annexation of Korea or one of the women seen here in the public demonstrations which, tragically led to bloody reprisals by the Japanese.
Would like to do some research into the subject but am strapped for time these days so this short posting will have to serve as a reminder to me to dig deeper into this tumultuous time in the history of Korea.
