The Red Chapel (Ambassadøren) is a 2011 Danish documentary film directed by Mads Brügger.

It chronicles the visit of Brügger and Danish comedians that are adopted from South Korea, Jacob Nossell (who is in a wheelchair) and Simon Jul to North Korea under the pretense of a small theatre troupe on a cultural exchange. This is also the first time the two comedians have ever visited Korea. The film won Best Nordic Documentary at Nordisk Panorama 2009 and Best Foreign Documentary at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival where it was included in the Official Selection. It is filmed and edited by René Johannsen.

The film features roughly the same contents as the 4-part documentary series Det R%C3%B8de Kapel.

Plot
What happens when a very white European man buys a diplomatic title which turns him into an African diplomat overnight – right in the middle of one of Central Africa's most failed nations? »The Ambassador« is a genre-breaking and tragic comedy about the bizarre and hidden world of African diplomacy, where gin and tonics flow on a daily basis and diamond hustlers and corrupt politicians run free.

Reception
Los Angeles Times' reviewer Mark Olson called it "shocking, funny and wildly outrageous" and "a real find". Kyle Smith from the New York Post described it as "a clear-eyed and inspired documentary". The New York Times reviewer Neil Genzlinger found it sloppy and thought it had "no revelations to offer".
