There is one thing you probably can take for granted regarding any proposed movie or book: it will lose money! Think about it for a moment. Who would buy it? I have long suspected that the leftist elites have encouraged film makers and publishers to take a tax lost in order to reward their “heroes.” The story concerning these reckless young ladies deserves a newspaper or magazine article. Nothing more. Their experience was almost certainly atypical. They most assuredly were handled with kid gloves. At most, they were made to feel uncomfortable and placed on a mild diet. Why give a damn? Most Korean political prisoners often have to eat the undigested food found in the excrement of cows.
