'저는 그들의 땅을 지키기 위하여 싸웠던 인디안들의 이야기를 기억합니다. 백인들이 그들의 신성한 숲에 도로를 만들기 위하여 나무들을 잘랐습니다. 매일밤 인디안들이 나가서 백인들이 만든 그 길을 해체하면 그 다음 날 백인들이 와서 도로를 다시 짓곤 했습니다. 한동안 그 것이 반복되었습니다. 그러던 어느날, 숲에서 가장 큰 나무가 백인들이 일할 동안 그들 머리 위로 떨어져 말과 마차들을 파괴하고 그들 중 몇몇을 죽였습니다. 그러자 백인들은 떠났고 결코 다시 오지 않았습니다….' (브루스 개그논)

The Jeju Sori article on March 2 reports a movie, 'A Small Pond' (Director: Lee Sang-Woo, production by No Gu Ri production) that is on the No Gun Ri massacre is finally open in eight years of the movie production decision

The opening date was decided to be April 15, eight years after the Movie production decision. It is also after 60 years of the No Gun Ri massacre and after 11 years when the whole truth was known to the world, thanks to the AP reporters. In reference, this year is the 60th anniversary of the Korean War.

However, it can be said that it was dominantly by the persistent efforts by the survivors and their families of the No Gun-Ri massacre, who made the breakthrough in late 90s, after the end of the military dictatorship for decades in South Korea that had oppressed people’s freedom of speech including the truth of Korea war, that the truth could be finally made as a movie.

The No Gun Ri massacre story was also translated in Swedish. See Here.
