Under the Sun

director:

Vitaly Mansky

Despite continuous interference by government handlers, director Vitaly Mansky still managed to document life in Pyongyang, North Korea in this fascinating portrait of one girl and her parents in the year as she prepares to join the Korean Children’s Union on the ‘Day Of The Shining Star’ (Kim Jong-Il’s birthday). “Under the Sun reveals the facades of North Korea—and what’s behind them.” (A.V. Club)
