Kimjongilia

Kimjongilia  

Presented by Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA) at Museum of Fine Arts Boston

September 1-September 8, 2010


Kimjongilia by N. C. Heikin (South Korea, 2009, 75 min.). For 60 years, North Koreans have been governed by a totalitarian regime that controls all information entering and leaving the country. A cult of personality surrounds its two recent leaders: first, Kim Il Sung, and now his son Kim Jong II. For Kim Jong Il’s 46th birthday, a hybrid red begonia named Kimjongilia was created, symbolizing wisdom, love, justice, and peace. The film draws its name from the rarefied flower and reveals the extraordinary stories told by survivors of North Korea’s vast repression, prison camps, and devastating famine. Interspersed with archival footage of North Korean propaganda films and other footage, the film fully exposes the humanitarian crisis in a stylish, deeply moving documentary.
