What happens

Das Manifest der Narren (Originaltitel: Babo Seoneon, nach McCune-Reischauer Pabo Sŏnŏn) ist ein Film des südkoreanischen Regisseurs Lee Jang-ho aus dem Jahr 1983. Es ist quasi der Nachfolger des Films Children of Darkness (1981). Beide Filme basieren einem von Lee Chol-yong (Pseudonym: Lee Dong-cheol) 1979 veröffentlichten Roman, dessen Titel sich mit „Die Söhne der Dunkelheit“ (어둠의 자식들 Eodum-ui Jasik-deul) übersetzen lässt.
