>	Dear Ms. Kim;
>
>	Greetings from CNN's international desk;
>
>	Several years ago, I saw a documentary made by a Polish film maker in
North Korea. He shot about 100 hours of film in pre-Solidarity days, and
took it back with him to Poland to develop and edit. 
>
>	The first product was a communist brotherhood propaganda piece. But after
the Iron Curtain fell, the film maker pieced together scraps from the
editing room floor and made a remarkable, revealing "backstage" piece about
daily life in North Korea. It was released in about 1990.
>
>	Does any of this ring a bell with you? It was one of the memorable pieces
of film I have ever seen, and I'd like to track it down. 
>
>	Would you happen to know the title of the film, the name of the
documentary maker or have any suggestions about where I should look?
>
>	I had no luck finding this after exhaustive Lex-Nex searches. 
>
>	If you don't know of this documentary but would like information about it
once I've located it down, please let me and I'll forward the info to you
once I find it. 
>
>	Appreciate any help you can provide ...
>
>	Thanks and best holiday wishes
