The Human Rights Watch Film Festival will be presented in London from 9 to 18 March, 2016, featuring 16 inspiring, topical and provocative documentaries and dramas.
In Adam Sjöberg’s Korea/China-focused documentary I Am Sun Mu, since fleeing his native North Korea to defect to the south, the artist Sun Mu has worked under a defiant alias meaning “no boundaries” to criticize the repressive regime of Kim Jong-un. A former propaganda artist, Sun Mu subverts familiar images that once glorified the Supreme Leader into satirical political pop art. Offered an unlikely solo exhibition in China, the anonymous artist prepares his show undercover, risking his freedom and safety to expose the truth through art.
