About this listen
Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of A Kim Jong-Il Production by Paul Fischer, read by Stephen Park.
Before becoming the world's most notorious dictator, Kim Jong-Il ran North Korea's 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 Korea's most famous actress and her ex-husband, the country's 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 Kim's trust - but could they escape?

scary but entertaining
very interesting story but a bit curious how the father never new about the illegitimate eldest son when the embassies knew to send gifts? perhaps the father knew but just ignored it? after all he had no more successors perhaps. I wish there's some true account on how dear leader felt when those 2 betrayed him? what about the others? story seems pretty confident on what happened to many others but those directly involved with our 2 main characters. a pity in that sense.

Amazing story - very interesting
The story is very unique and gives a good idea/ view of how North C is operating. Besides that it’s well written (and seems documented) and extremely interesting. I strongly recommend it.

Absolutely fascinating!
Brilliantly written and even more brilliantly narrated. Intriguing, suspenseful, edge-of-the-seat, and depressing and sad all at the same time. A roller coaster of a story.
