The film follows the 2023 raid by the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office on investigative outlet Newstapa.

Combining on-site footage, journalist testimonies, and legal records, the film reveals how special funds were used to pressure the media, silence dissent, and manipulate public opinion.

MovieDocumentary
On the night of December 3, 2024, South Korea was thrown into chaos. What the public first heard as "an insurrection" quickly became one of the most polarising political events in modern Korean history. This documentary revisits that night and asks a deeper question: Was it really a coup attempt or the result of a calculated political trap? Through interviews, legal analysis, and evidence, the film investigates the impeachment of President Yoon Suk-yeol and the rapid collapse of his administration. It explores claims that an overwhelming opposition majority, built through alleged election manipulation, enabled a form of "legislative dictatorship" that mirrored the path that led to President Park Geun-hye's impeachment eight years earlier.
