Kimjongilia

Rating: 8.5

I associate Kim Jong Il with his "I'm So Ronery" puppet character in Team America: World Police, so I was unprepared for how tragic and horrifying this documentary would be. People who have managed to escape North Korea have stories that range from eating mice to prevent starvation to watching family members publicly executed in gulags. Between the heartbreaking interviews are clips from propaganda films that are unlike anything I've ever seen. Kinda mind-blowing.
