Movies on refugees can be difficult to make. I think it's important to show the plight of them, but what if the movie is all about it? Audience is likely to be turned off and stop paying attention. That was basically what happened to me, as Kimjongilia consists mostly stories of the refugees. Their stories are told in many fashions, but the movie is still ... just that. Segments are separated by dance sequences, which I found amusing but it irritated a friend.
