Colin Offland was sitting at breakfast with his family reading the newspapers, he said, when he decided he had to make a film about Dennis Rodman’s trip to North Korea. He’d never made a feature film before – just a few TV programs and adverts with his company Chief Productions – but he knew that this was too good a story to pass up.
That idea became the film Dennis Rodman's Big Bang in Pyongyang, a rollercoaster documentary following the former Chicago Bulls basketball player as he attempts to bring peace to the Korean Peninsula with a motley crew of fellow ex-NBA players and an Irish gambling company, all while giving his “good friend” Kim Jong Un a birthday to remember.
