REMASTERING FOR ITS
15TH ANNIVERSARY
Never before seen North Korea and European film
Comrade Kim Goes Flying is the result of a meeting of three producers with very different backgrounds, but a shared passion for film."
Comrade Kim Yong Mi (Han Jong Sim) dreams of leaping from her life as a coal miner in rural North Korea to become a trapeze artist.
Comrade Kim Goes Flying is a compelling story about chasing your desires . Whether it's fear, humiliation, or judgment from others, Comrade Kim Yong Mi's story shows that nothing can get in the way of your dreams.
The essence of ‘girl power’ drives this implausible story of a young coal miner who with the support of her friends achieves her dream to fly. With elements of mischief, humour and romance, this film required a new approach from the North Korean writers, cast and crew."
