"Iron"ic Despair
As a Kim Jong Il propaganda film attempts to glorify an ideologically confused Communist prisoner of the Korean War, something happened that he simply did not anticipate...
Lee received a hero's welcome and, sure enough, Pyongyang made a film on Lee's "heroic struggle for the motherland" in South Korean prisons and made sure all North Koreans saw it. However, the movie caused many North Koreans to become curious about South Korean society. Many North Korean defectors said their first reaction upon seeing the film was to ask how people could stay in prison for more than 10 years and remain alive? They say few people survive even three years in North Korean political prisons. Being fed three regular meals a day is utterly unimaginable.
What will it take to break the evil influence Kim's "government" has on it's subjects? You would think that JUST starvation would motivate people to move towards change.
People living under Kim's tyrannic rule now know that South Korean PRISONERS are better fed than they are. This sad, sick tale only illustrates the desperate situation North Koreans find themselves in.
What's next... a Kim(tm) propaganda film that accidentally gives citizens of North Korea a glimpse of a free press, or a peek into a free society?
