1. Introduction of the 18th Gwangju Human Rights Film Festival
Gwangju Human Rights Film Festival has been a leading film festival introducing human rights films over the last 18 years. It has accepted support from private and civil organizations, but none from profit driven companies.
This year, by taking a moment to think about the violations of human rights happening all over the world, we would like to share and consider the reality of human rights.
Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights clearly states, "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media regardless of frontiers."
At the 18th Gwangju Human Rights Film Festival, we would like to emphasize, once again, that the freedom of opinion and expression is a fundamental right.
Each year, we strive to continue to reflect the repression and resistance of human history at Gwangju Human Rights Film Festival. We hope this becomes a communication channel to share relevant human rights issues from both inside and outside of Korea.

KT employees who endured various hardships are now spending more than four hours commuting to work. The reason is that they rejected the company's retirement proposal.

This kind of expulsion has been done especially to those who support the labor movement.
However, it only causes them to be more rebellious. Their experience of resistance turns all the surveillance and interference from the company into entertainment.
