My inquries to his co-author at Time Magazine went unanswered, so if you could let me know what Jenkins writes about his films when you have a chance, I would appreciate it. I have ordered "Nameless Heroes" and look forward to viewing it. Thank you.

I was wondering if anyone who has read his book could let me know if he discusses his films in any detail? I know he acted in at least two. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It’s really interesting for anyone who is at all interested in North Korea. It’s currently available only in Japanese in an unfinished form; which would make us think that there will be an English version available sooner or later. There are some theories as to why it has not been published in English yet, but that’s not the topic for right now. Since the book is currently available only in Japanese, yet provides great insight into North Korea, and is just all around an interesting story, I’ve decided that I will share it with everyone. The book opens with a few pages of pictures from Jenkins’ life in North Korea and shortly after leaving. I’ll start by showing those, only after which will I share some quotes and/or complete stories that I find to be particularly interesting.

Parallel Lives! Anyway, recently Jenkins' name is often on the Bangkok Post since he is helping the Thai gov to find the Thai abductees. One of them was about to be Jenkins' second wife after Soga-san left for Japan. It was a surprise when this book was mailed to my house when I was about to order a copy for you. Parallel Lives!
