In addition to being the last Stalinist dictator, fashion plate, and all-around misunderstood fellow, North Korea's Dear Leader Kim Jong-il has from his early days displayed a great love of cinema.
| Plot Summary |
Hollywood wasn't the only industry to produce its own version of "Titanic". In the last bastion of isolated totalitarianism, movies like "Woman Warrior of Koryo" are produced to use the cinema as a mobilizing force for revolution. We're given a tour of the mysterious North Korean film industry by Finnish documentary filmmakers Jouni Hakkanen and Simojukka Ruippo, and provided with a glimpse of the bizarre, forbidden cinema of the Sung State.
