What could possibly be more shocking and opprobrius than Kim Jung-il's hairdo?

Amazing footage. Good narration. I've only watched the first 10 minutes so far. If anyone finds or knows a link to a better quality version of the documentary, or one which is downloadable, then please post the link.

I actually saw someone wearing that costume last year in Itaewon (brown jumpsuit, crazy hair). However, the person actually looked more like a Ghostbuster.....

Korean leaders should be ashamed of themselves. Experimentation on people. Horrible. All of South Korea should hang its head in shame for letting this just happen, and ignoring it.

Shameful. How can they claim to be proud of anything when they willingly allow this to be swept under the rug?

The most disturbing thing about this docu is how this ex-Gulag commander of the so-called "Camp 22" hardly flinches -- and almost appears to be smirking -- when he brags of having exterminated all 30 members of five families in one day for having broken some camp rules, then attempts to justify his actions with a mere afterthought by saying that he wanted to emphasize "collective responsibility." He reminds me of Nuernberg trials when the likes of Adolf Eichmann and his kind expressed no compunction or emotion whatsoever when recounting their role in the Holocaust.

This guy though, in my opinion, is pure, unrepentant evil -- especially when he questions with morbid fascination how is it that the four family members -- a father, mother, young son and daughter -- whom he witnessed being used as subjects during biological warfare experiments, would try to save their children by doing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on them, while they themselves were being suffocated by an asphyxiating gas -- while he and a bunch of scientists observed the whole thing from the outside of the chamber. Apparently, he thought the whole thing was fascinating.... What a sicko.

It is absolutely incomprehensible how someone like that can live with himself, or why the South Korean government allows him to walk around as a free man. Apparently though, he has some intelligence value to the South Koreans, but what they really want him to do is to shutup and not say anything about it to anybody, lest the truth derail their "Sunshine Policy."

Apparently you've never watched the uncensored version of Caligula. Shocked
