A Kim-Jong Il Production

A Kim Jong-Il Productionby Paul Fischer has already received the most brilliant advance praise from the likes of Paul French and Matt Baglio and it tells the jaw-dropping true story of Kim Jong-Il’s successful attempt to kidnap South Korea’s golden couple of cinema, employing them to produce films for North Korea that would compete with Hollywood for two whole years (before they managed to escape via a high speed car chase in Vienna!)

“Paul Fischer captivatingly tells perhaps the most extraordinary tale from the world’s most bizarre country. Simply flabbergasting”– Paul French

“Equal parts history, thriller, and farce, Fischer’s masterful reporting will keep you engrossed until the very end” – Matt Baglio (co-author of Argo)

“Paul Fischer defrosts a Cold War story almost too wild to believe, an epic love story that reveals in Technicolour the North Korean hermit kingdom and its movie obsessed, improbably charismatic late leader. This book is unputtdownable”– Benjamin Wallace
