KIMJONGILIA is the first film to fully expose the humanitarian crisis of North Korea. NC 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.
