Before becoming the world's most notorious dictator, Kim Jong-Il ran North Korea's Ministry for Propaganda and its film studios. Conceiving every movie made, he acted as producer and screenwriter. Despite this control, he was underwhelmed by the available talent and took drastic steps, ordering the kidnapping of Choi Eun-Hee, South Korea's most famous actress, and her ex-husband Shin Sang-Ok, the country's most famous filmmaker. It is announced that the couple will remarry and act as the Dear Leader's film advisors. Together they made seven films; pretending to research a film in Vienna, they flee to the U.S. embassy and are swept to safety.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 791.43095 Fi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 791.43095 Fi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 791.43095 Fischer Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 791.4309 Fi missing from shelf Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 791.43095 Fi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 791.43095 Fi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 791.43095 Fi Checked In Add Copy to MyList
