Kimjongilia

 I know I go on and on about the begonias named for NorKor's dictator, but you have to check out this movie with the same namesake.  Much like Barbara Demick's "Nothing to Envy," the fantastic book I read recently,  this focuses on the lives of defectors.  Check out the trailer:

Also, check out this interview with N.C. Heikin, the director of Kimjongilia.  She has great hair AND an deep interest in North Korea.  I wonder what else we have in common

This movie has been saved in my Netflix Queue for about a year now.  There are worldwide screenings in major cities, but it looks like the DVD will come out state side this October!  I'm so excited.
