For some, the Korean War was a clear example of American imperialism. For others, it was a valiant effort on the part of the UN and the Koreans to quash the spread of communism. For all Koreans, it was a tragedy. The country was not just divided; it was devastated. The death toll was astronomical, and the destruction profound. Many engage in assigning blame for the war according to their political beliefs, but this is a useless exercise. The point is that the human rights sit... (Full plot summary below)

Full Plot Details

For some, the Korean War was a clear example of American imperialism. For others, it was a valiant effort on the part of the UN and the Koreans to quash the spread of communism. For all Koreans, it was a tragedy. The country was not just divided; it was devastated. The death toll was astronomical, and the destruction profound. Many engage in assigning blame for the war according to their political beliefs, but this is a useless exercise. The point is that the human rights situation in North Korea today is catastrophic. KIMJONGILIA is the first film to let North Korean refugees tell their stories in their own words.

Movie Reviews

Boston Globe - 8/10 by Jesse SingalLately outsiders are more likely to laugh at North Korea's despotic head than to think about those who suffer under him, and Kimjongilia is a welcome and necessary antidote to that impulse.
Compuserve - 8/10 by Harvey S. KartenAn effective broadside against the regime of the world's most isolated nation.
Boston Phoenix - 6/10 by Gerald PearyWatching these painful reports by escapees of starvation, concentration camps, torture, and killings is more frustrating than enlightening.
Filmcritic.com - 6/10 by Chris Barsanti...Heikin's riveting, horribly beautiful film has given many of these people the voice they so deserve.
New York Times - 6/10 by Mike HaleThese harrowing tales are reason enough to see the movie. But Ms. Heikin wants to provide a total experience, so she adds in propaganda films, her own animated presentation of Korean history and, most noticeably, a pair of female dancers… It’s as bad an idea as it sounds.
NYC Film Critic - 5/10 by Ethan AlterA distractingly superficial depiction of North Korea that boils down the country's complex history to a handful of bullet points.
Village Voice - 5/10 by Michael AtkinsonArguably the most dysfunctional culture of the past few centuries, North Korea is a cosmically mad movie waiting to happen. But for now, Heikin's is merely insubstantial.
User Review - 10/10 by Michelle C"We have to free the North Koreans...they can't speak. The world has to save North Korea. We have to speak of it." This is the function, this is the power of the documentary, this is the power of film. This is a film with a real purpose, almost so overwhelmingly so that the word 'film' hardly seems appropriate; even it seems to fall short. This is not a retrospective piece, this is happening right now. The documentary is a cry for help, and a desperate one. Everyone, everywhere needs to see it.
User Review - 10/10 by Jeff TA powerful documentary about a sick, terrible place and the people who have to live there.
User Review - 10/10 by Bob SRemember the prison camps you read about in the history books about WWII? They're still around. Today.
