Come on a journey to the corridors and kitchens of power of the world's most secretive state.

Italian chef Ermanno Furlanis was recruited to work in a seaside pleasure palace, making and baking pizza for the "Dear Leader", Kim Jong il. His story is contrasted with the harrowing tale of North Korean student Kang Hyeok, as he searches for food amidst the country's continuing famine. He meets starving children, grain thieves and degraded beggars who know nothing of their leader's magnificent banquets.
