Cathedral City High School digital storyteller Laura Padilla interviewed "Kimjongilia" executive producer James Egan and director N.C. Heikin Feb. 12, 2010 in Palm Springs. Padilla is a student in Mr. Hamilton's Digital Storytelling Class at CCHS.
"This film is about the human rights crisis in North Korea, which, in my opinion, is the worst on the planet," said Heikin. "It's always important to defend our fellow human beings and help them get out of the horrible trouble they are in. After watching this documentary, most people say 'I had no idea that was going on.'"
Egan said this was a breakthrough film in documentaries. "People are startled by the dance and the music that Heiken brings to this production," he said. "Because of her background as a dancer, singer and artist, she has created a documentary that is not only a call to action, but also a beautiful artistic palette that hasn't been seen before in documentary filmmaking."
