The story

What Is The Juche Idea About?

The premise of The Juche Idea without spoilers.

Jim Finn’s satire follows a South Korean video artist who travels to North Korea to revive Juche cinema, loosely based on the true 1970s kidnapping of a South Korean filmmaker tasked with improving the North’s film industry. Believing cinema can serve Kim Jong‑Il’s doctrine, the dictator funds the émigré’s attempt to make state‑approved movies.
