Songs from the North

Soon-Mi Yoo Portugal, South Korea, VS 2014 72 min.

North Korea remains one of the most mysterious countries in the world and is often seen through the distorting lens of chauvinist propaganda or mocking satire. Director Soon-Mi Yoo blends his own images, popular cinema and archive material together into a documentary that looks at this fascinating country in a different way. In a unique way, the film tries to capture the psychology, popular culture and political ideology of absolute love of the North Korean people.
