The Great North Korean Picture Show plot

The North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il was a big movie buff, but unfortunately his favorite films were often American-made. And so he set up a film school in Pyongyang where a select group of actors and filmmakers trained in the seventh art. But what does artistic expression mean in a country where film primarily serves as propaganda? What possibilities are there for a film industry whose main protagonist is behind the scenes. 'Great North Korean Picture Show' offers a unique insight into a world otherwise carefully hidden behind barbed wire.
