A decade-long civil war in Nepal, which came to an end in 2006 with the abdication of the king and the renewal of democracy, spelled many years of hardship for the Nepalese men and women. Many women decided to take part actively in the conflict and play a role in deciding the future of the country and their lives. This documentary follows the stories of six such women. Kranti joins the Maoist army in order to help overthrow the autocratic regime of the new king. Ram Kumari is the leader of a student movement aiming to achieve the same thing, though without violence. Rajani becomes an officer in the royal army in order to help quell the unrest. Krishna lives in a mountain village subject to attacks by the Maoist forces, so supports the existing monarchy. Devi seeks out the help of lawyer Mandira when her 15-year-old daughter is abducted by the royalist army for testifying about crimes it has committed. Will women who have abandoned their traditional roles become once and for all an integral part of new Nepalese society?

 

How does one use the documentary format to convey the brutality perpetrated in modern concentration camps where tens of thousands of North Korean political prisoners languish and die? The important Polish director Andrzej Fidyk found an original and enormously impressive way of combining documentary film testimony about crimes against humanity with a disquieting work of art. He convinced the theatre director Jung Sung San (who escaped from the Yodok concentration camp across the border to South Korea in 1994) to stage a musical faithfully recounting the shocking practices used in the concentration camp. At the same time the authors based their work on the recollections of several people who survived internment in concentration camps and managed to escape to South Korea. They have all been political victims of the dictatorship even though some of them started out as camp guards. Eventually, however, they also began to feel uncomfortable... The chilling dance choreography, chorales and musical arias interlaced with very frank descriptions by eyewitnesses of the suffering endured in North Korean concentration camps bear witness in an artistically moving way to the crimes of one of the harshest dictatorships in the world.
