The documentary film <The Independence Army: The Unfinished War>, commemorating the 80th anniversary of Korea's liberation, traces the roots of the Republic of Korea Armed Forces by following the fierce armed struggle of General Hong Beom-do. From the victory at the Battle of Bongo-dong in 1920 to the controversy over the removal of the Korea Military Academy bust in 2023, it re-examines where our military began. The beginning of our armed forces was none other than the independence army and the liberation army. With narration by actor Cho Jin-woong, and through the voices of descendants of independence activists, politicians, soldiers, and scholars, it tells us why we must remember the 'unknown independence fighters' today. The journey to revive the true image of our armed forces, which protect freedom and justice alongside the people, begins now.
