Kidnapped

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Mike Thomson follows the extraordinary story of an Asian-born Hollywood film director and his wife who were kidnapped by North Korea's mysterious dictator and ardent film buff, Kim Jong-ll . Kept in opulent captivity for eight years and forced to produce propagandist films for the regime, Shin Sang-Ok finally escaped in a dramatic car chase across Vienna. But what new light does his ordeal shed on the inner workings of the Great Leader's mindset and that of his curiously cinematic regime? Producer Philip Sellars
