A Kim Jong-Il Production

A Kim Jong-Il Production by Paul Fischer - love, films and kidnapping in North Korea, the worlds wildest regime

Before becoming the worlds most notorious dictator, Kim Jong-Il ran North Koreas film industry. He directed every film made in the country but knew they were nothing compared to Hollywood. Then he hit on the perfect solution: order the kidnapping of South Koreas most famous actress and her ex-husband, the countrys most acclaimed director.

In a jaw-dropping mission the couple were kidnapped, held hostage and then employed to make films for the Dear Leader, including a remake of Godzilla. They gained Kims trust - but could they escape?

A non-fiction thriller with a plot so jaw-dropping even Hollywood couldnt make it up, this extraordinary book will be enjoyed by fans of Argo and Nothing to Envy.
