Lately 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. Sep 1, 2010 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Heikin has gathered rare video shot in-country and riveting escapee stories to create a commendable upgrade to our limited fount of North Korean knowledge, which almost completely mitigates the doc's numerous problems. Mar 24, 2010 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

A distractingly superficial depiction of North Korea that boils down the country's complex history to a handful of bullet points. Mar 24, 2010 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…
