Contents Summary
Already a classic, this film by experienced documentary filmmaker Andrzej Fidyk, which has received several prestigious awards, shows us the celebration of the fortieth anniversary of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in 1988. One of the goals of this enormous celebration was to overshadow the Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea, which were held at the same time. Instead of using his own dialogue to accompany the footage of the masses of people paying tribute to their leader, the director uses quotations from North Korean newspapers and books. The chillingly fascinating choreography of the mass procession is conducted with absolute perfection and is strongly reminiscent of similar celebrations from Nazi Germany and shows how the manifestations of these totalitarian regimes resemble one another. The author of the film also visits a number of places touched by the feet of the "God-like" Kim Il Sung or his son Kim Jong Il, which immediately became national memorials. Footage of pre-school children who are able to repeat by heart exact information about the birthdays of members of Kim Il Sung's family shows the enormous extent to which brainwashing takes places among the local citizens, who are convinced of the prosperity of their country thanks to its absolute isolation.
