The film, which lasts for about 90 minutes, shows the courage, heroism and great internationalism of the CPV and the brotherhood between peoples of the two countries by telling of CPV martyr Huang Jiguang's brave story in the Korean War.

Hong Kwang Sun, chairman of the DPRK National Film Commission, said before the premiere that the CPV's heroic feats were still shining as a model of noble internationalism and fraternal friendship, and were always remembered by the DPRK people and army.

The film was proposed by and produced under the direction of top leader Kim Jong Il, said Hong.

The National Film Commission, which made "Brotherhood," is now preparing for the first film to be jointly produced by the DPRK and China to further strengthen cultural communication and cooperation between the two countries, according to Hong.
