There are few first person testimonies of life in Kim Jong Il's North Korea available for western viewers. NC Heikin's film, Kimjongilia: A Film About North Korea, named after the hybrid red begonia created in honor of Kim Jong Il?s 46th birthday, seeks to lift the veil on what remains the most isolated and closed society in the world. Heikin and Paul D. Miller, aka DJ Spooky, discuss the role of culture and information in a closed society. Miller is the author of Sound Unbound: Sampling Digital Music and Culture, among other works.
