Description
Operating under a pseudonym which means “no boundaries”, North Korean defector Sun Mu doesn’t just paint about his troubled life in the world’s most reclusive and repressive state – he paints images of hope. Sun Mu’s work is imbued with nuance and heartbreak, political pop art that inverts the propaganda work he used to paint for the North Korean regime. In July of 2014, Sun Mu is offered an historical, though potentially dangerous, opportunity: a solo exhibition in the capital of Asian art, China. As he prepares his show undercover, an unexpected twist of events puts Sun Mu and all of his friends and family in danger.
Sjöberg, the founder of LOOSE LUGGAGE MEDIA, is a documentary filmmaker whose work has taken him to over 60 countries. His recent film, “SHAKE THE DUST”, was a collaboration with hip-hop superstar Nasir “Nas” Jones – an epic global film about the power and dignity of youth in the slums that are using breaking and hip-hop to change their world. “I AM SUN MU” is his second feature film.
