Summary

What does it take for ordinary citizens to risk everything to protest living under a repressive government? What takes them to the ‘boiling point’? In his graphic novel, Choi Kyu-sok sheds a light on these questions by examining the lives of one family caught up in the great social unrest that culminated in the June 1987 Uprising.
