Featured review
excellent - go see it.
I have actually had the fortunate opportunity to see this documentary twice - at Slamdance and at Hot-Docs- both with sold out shows. I would highly recommend seeing it. It tells the story of a young 13 year old Japanese girl(Megumi) who suddenly goes missing, and her family's efforts to find her. There is a mystery side to it - which to most people, (like me) who are unaware of the the "kidnapping spies" issue - comes as a shock, almost unbelievable that this could conceivably happen. A political side - very timely, as North Korea is in the news. As well, it is a very emotional and heart wrenching story of love - as you see the toll it takes on the family, and how they cope with it. The documentary is very well done, it gives the viewer a real glimpse into Megumi's life and her family's. I think the other great thing about this movie is that it brings to light an issue that most North Americans are unaware of, forces you to think about them, and you'll be off to your computer to "google" for more answers.
