In early North Korea, Kim Il-sung created the “Joy Division,” an elite troupe symbolizing national pride. For many girls, selection was a rare escape from poverty—but behind this honor was a brutal reality. Taken from families, they became part of a secret “pleasure squad,” enduring sexual exploitation, violence, and death. For the first time, four defectors reveal this hidden abuse, exposing a chilling system of absolute power from Kim Il-sung to Kim Jong-un through testimonies, archives, reenactments, and analysis.
For the first time, four women break decades of silence on the regime’s hidden system of abuse.Produced by Emmy-nominated, award-winning producer Ann Shin, known for Artificial I.mmortality and My Enemy, My Brother (Grand Jury Prize at SDAIFF).
