A biographical film depicting the life of the martyr Moon Jun Kyung (1891-1950). Rev. Moon Jun Kyung, born in Sugok-ri, Amtae-myeon, Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do, married at the age of 17, but lived an unhappy life. After graduating from seminary, she toured non-church-free areas to plant churches and preach the gospel. During the Japanese oppression, she refused to visit shrines and suffered severe torture. Rev. Moon, who was called the 'Apostle Paul of Korea', established over 100 churches over 18 years, but was eventually martyred on October 4, 1950, while fighting the Communist Party members.
