review : Kimjongilia

Director - N.C. Heikin

Country - South Korea [2009]

A documentary on the North Korean condition. We hear the stories of people who suffered under the Kim Family regime and to escape their misery defected. As we talk to ex military men, artists and people who were born and grew up in the North Korean prison camps, a sad and angry realization sets in. Some escape to China only to become goods of sale in human trafficking. Others seeking expatriation in Mongolia. Personal accounts of tragedies that hit the people of North Korea since its inception bring into focus the isolation of this country and more severely that of it's people.
