For sixty years, North Korea has been governed by a totalitarian regime that controls all formation entering and leaving the country. A cult of personality surrounds its two recent leaders: first, Kim Il Sung, and now his son, Kim Jong Il. For Kim Jong Il’ 46th birthday, a hybrid red begonia named kimjongilia was created, symbolizing wisdom, love, justice, and peace. The film reveals stories told by survivors of North Korea’ vast prison camps, of devastating famine, and of every kind of repression.
