Fascinating article from the L.A. times on Charles Jenkins, the army deserter who spent four decades stuck in North Korea.

Charles Jenkins Article

My favorite lines from the article are: His time in North Korea was part comedy, part horror. He says he and three other American deserters mocked their political minders, whom they nicknamed Whitey, the Fat Cadre and the Colonel in Glasses.

That’s the essence of my short film, Juche Rules, which will be finished shortly… stay tuned….
