The Democratic National Funeral of the Lee Han-yeol

This is 8mm film footage documenting the Democratic National Funeral held for the late Lee Han-yeol on July 9, 1987.

It includes, among other scenes, a speech in front of Seoul City Hall by Lee In-young, who at the time served as chair of the Seoul Area College Student Representatives Council and president of the Korea University Student Union. A primary historical record of the funeral, captured from the perspective of a student participant.
