Review of Kimjongilia (2009) by Susan D — 25 Dec 2010
Fascinating glimpse into the otherwise closed off world of North Korea. The stories of those who left were striking and often moving. I would, however have been even more fascinated by a few more accounts of daily life and its challenges there.
Though stories of crisis are gripping and tragic, as riveting for me are stories of day to day survival in situations of hardship and the kind of long term oppression, starvation/shortage, propaganda and disinformation that must be the norm in such a place.
Still, a very interesting film that will confirm your worst inferences about North Korea and its current regime.
