The WALL. A story of a young female poet in North Korea. David Kinsella the director wanted to make a real a documentary but the government in North Korea brought in over 1000 extras to make Kinsella produce what THEY wanted.PROPAGANDA.
Kinsella had to change his strategy, under the press of the North Korean sensor department he filmed in a way that animation could be painted onto the images from North Korea and used to tell the real story when he returned to Norway.
David Kinsella decided to use the " Utopia North Korean documentary rules" to make The WALL.
Understanding that in North Korea "All foreigners are spies and evil." David Kinsella had been told this as a boy growing up in Northern Ireland, and so made a comparison with his own childhood in Belfast, and his North Korean adventure movie.
