Comrade Kim Yong Mi is a North Korean coalminer. Her dream of becoming a trapeze artist is crushed by the arrogant trapeze star Pak Jang Phil, who believes miners belong underground and not in the air. Comrade Kim Goes Flying is a heartwarming story of trying to make the impossible, possible. –TIFF
Designed to show how supportive the State is in helping the workers achieve their dreams - and how dedicated the workers are to their tasks and to each other. Charmingly naive propaganda.
