Wake Up the Dawn
Wake Up the Dawn
1990, Korean. Directed by Lee Ki-won.
Jin-hong is assigned to take over the missionary wrok in central Seoul. He starts building a church and uses the pulpit to fight poverty and ignorance. He even succeeds in healing a hunchbacked child through prayer. However, his congregation turns on him, believing his faith healing to be fake and he is imprisoned for fraud--but not even prison can stop the power of his prayers.
