Fantastic recounting of the lives of an actress and a director, who lived through the war, stardom, horrific kidnapping, dramatic escape, and struggle to get their voices heard. It could easily be mistaken for the blockbuster creation of one of its narrators, if only it wasn't so painfully true. Recommended to anyone interested in North Korean history, or well-written investigative journalism.

Excellent page-turner about El KooKoo So Wonely Dear Leader. Lots of info about all facets of North Korea and the inside life of Jong-il, not to mention the main story which is about how he simply kidnapped whoever he wanted and made them live in his country. I'm sure his son is carrying the nut torch and nothing has changed.
