- dominotw 9y agoThis is not documentary on North Korea. Its a documentary on ' the north korea show', there isn't even a glimpse of 'real' real korea in those documentaries. Youtube is filled with these tourist documentaries, everyone from bbc to your next door tourist neighbor seems to have one about it. Almost all of them with identical content. All of them present NK in a very sterotypical way, brainwashed population, cult of kims, hatred for america, starving children, deserted roads, total govt grip on people ect ect. I recommend the watching the follwing media instead 1. Children of the Secret State https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csI1EoMOXXk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csI1EoMOXXk 2. Loves and the Despot 3. Under the Sun
- gkya 9y agoI have to disagree, it seems to me that what it shows is something very real about NK: the way the NK wants to portray herself, the illusion that they want to create. It's not like say pictures of Istanbul with century-old men, veiled women in rundown rotting quarters which many tourists and photographers like to shoot and many believe represent the general reality of the city while we the citizens cringe to death. The "show" here is put on by NK herself and the documentary is interesting because its documenting that. It's NK that pushes those stereotypes.
