North Korea’s Mass Games are a human spectacle of extravagant proportions: 100,000 people participate in an elaborately choreographed spectacle of dazzlingly colorful, jaw-dropping gymnastic displays, after months of daily, grueling rehearsals, all for the delectation of “Dear Leader Kim.” Whether the reclusive leader will deign to show up for the performance is a matter of constant speculation. A STATE OF MIND follows the lives of two charming teenage girls who are selected to train for the Mass Games and whose lives revolve around a daily routine that makes basic training look like a tea party. The British filmmaker Daniel Gordon paints a candid portrait of their difficult (though by North Korean standards, very privileged) lives in this fascinating look at one of the world’s most hidden societies.
