The Brooklyn Independent Cinema Series presents a Free Screening of The Red Chapel. The Red Chapel directed by Mads Brügger is about a journalist with no scruples, a spastic, and a comedian travels to North Korea with a mission – to challenge the conditions of the smile in one of the world’s most notorious regimes.

On the pretext of being a small theatre troupe on a cultural exchange visit from Denmark, ‘The Red Chapel’ was given permission to travel to North Korea with the objective of performing at special events for selected audiences. But in reality the small troupe was compromised of a group who had no such intentions. Two group members, Jacob and Simon, were both adopted form North Korea to Europe as infants and this is their story about the confrontation with their biological roots, and their attempt to act and perform in a world where humour and humanity have very poor conditions.
