Plot
The farmers of Muju, Cheonbuk Province, are not only poor, one year they don't even have enough water to irrigate their rice paddies. Despite many attempts to dig a canal to the Geum River, they fail every single time.
Throughout these difficulties, the villagers find the strength to endure, until at last the military coup of 1962 brings in a government that gives them the support they need to escape starvation and ruin.

gollark: I like to confuse all by using e^(2i)-based indexing.
gollark: Anyone with other arbitrary preferences is wrong. gnobody is the function `f(x)=sinh(x²)/tan(3x)`.
gollark: But I don't arbitrarily prefer 1 indexing, I arbitrarily prefer 0.
gollark: I arbitrarily prefer 0 for aesthetic reasons.
