ā¢ For several years the filmmakers attempted to secure permission to film in North Korea, but were ultimately denied access.
ā¢ Samsara (a Sanskrit word literally meaning "continuous flow") is the repeating cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth (reincarnation) within Hinduism, Buddhism, Bƶn and Jainism. In Sikhism this concept is slightly different and looks at our actions in the present and consequences in the present.
ā¢ The dancing prisoners were actually dancing to different music than the one heard in the movie. Amongst other tunes, they were actually dancing to M.C. Hammer and Michael Jackson songs.
