Basierend auf realen Ereignissen erzählt Hun Jang in seinem Film „A Taxi Driver“ von dem deutschen Journalisten Jürgen Hinzpeter, der 1980 mithilfe eines südkoreanischen Taxifahrers Licht ins Dunkel um die Gerüchte über einen Aufstand in Gwangju brachte, der wenige Tage später brutal niedergeschlagen wurde. Bis heute sind die genauen Hintergründe des Massakers von Gwangju umstritten, die Erhebung der Studenten damals gilt allerdings heute als wichtiger Schritt auf dem Weg zur Einführung der Demokratie in Südkorea.
