Drama for Documentary

Slight snag in my documentary production: The 95-year-old Nam-Soo Kim, legendary acupuncturist who has been visiting the GD Institute of Integrated Medicine in Duluth, had to return home to South Korea for a court appearance, as the email below informs me.

It is not clear when he will be allowed to return to the United States, where he serves as a consultant for two clinics, including the one in Duluth.

Drats!

Kim, master acupuncturist, has an almost cult following in South Korea where he has been practicing the Asian healing methods of acupuncture and moxibustion for more than 70 years. Sources tell me that Master Kim rankled fellow acupuncturists when his nonprofit organization sponsored a clinic offering free acupuncture. The free treatments, given to hundreds of patients, were administered by volunteers who were not licensed to practice acupuncture.
