Park Bong-nam: Iron Cross
He is the story of workers who break, cut and melt huge iron blocks that reach a height of 25 meters in their bare body and 300 meters in length, even in dangerous conditions. South Korea, the first international documentary film to be featured in 2009, was a graphic photo of the winner, Iron Crows (Tybers), which drew an honest and humble look that neither glorified nor did compassion glorify the hard labor of anonymous workers. The numerous lung vessels that stood like ghosts on their bumblebees, the oil-sucking smell of their noses, smoke and waste- covered workshops, laborers who were in danger of being left on a steep - rising iron plate, their bare feet and shoulders... There were many secret rumors. Some died when iron pieces were through their brains, some of them because of gas cans that didn't find the body, and some of those people who were carrying a ton of metal plates were cut off. So it was also the ‘ grave of the living. ’. When asked how to cope with such hard and dangerous labor, they all said the same thing. "This is a gift from God, and this is our destiny.". It was their greatest struggle, their life-saving resistance to poverty, to get rid of the superships here where sweat and oil mix, flesh and iron intersect, life and death are at stake. And that's the greatness of the glowing labors, Homo pavres, which created the same era.
