Kimjongilia (DVD)

From Executive Producer Mike Figgis (Leaving Las Vegas, Cold Creek Manor), Kimjongilia is the first film to fully expose the humanitarian crisis of North Korea. N.C. Heikin's stylish, deeply moving documentary is centered around astonishing interviews with survivors of North Korea's vast and largely hidden prison camps, and interspersed with archival footage of North Korean propaganda films and original scenes that illuminate the contours of daily life for a people whose every action is monitored and every thought could bring retribution.
