Dictatorship, Paranoia, Famine: Welcome to North Korea!

It is the most closed country in the world, the last great communist, paranoid and aggressive dictatorship. In North Korea, nothing or almost nothing has changed since the creation of the country by Kim Il-Sung in 1953. 23 million North Koreans survive in absolute misery, without any freedom, prisoners of impassable borders. It is in this distressing universe that a group of French people have decided to spend their holidays. 8500 euros for three weeks is as expensive as a stay in the Seychelles. But for this price they will have to be satisfied with rationed food, hotels without comfort, outdated buses... Not to mention the permanent surveillance of threatening guides. Claude, Henri and Jacqueline will discover cities without cars, empty shops, casinos without money. They will have to submit to mandatory visits, propaganda and forced tributes to the eternal president of North Korea. An incredible journey, as North Korea prepares for the rise to power of Kim Jong-Un, grandson of the founder of the first communist dynasty in history. 00:00 Every stranger is a potential spy 01:35 North Korea, the most closed country in the world 06:32 North Korean amusement park 09:37 1953, Korea is officially divided in two 10:27 Korean Demilitarized Zone 13:35 The War Museum 15:02 In North Korea, we are rewriting history 19:13 An old air force fighter 19:37 Trophies, weapons taken from the enemy 20:26 Mural on the Battle of Seoul 21:22 Pyongyang, the capital of the communist regime 24:47 Kim Il-Sung, the local Stalin 27:38 The only pizzeria in the country 30:13 Pyongyang Embroidery Institute 32:23 The totalitarian regime 33:55 Model schools 38:48 The North Korean army 40:46 Mount Paektu 43:50 Kim Il-Sung’s birthplace 48:46 Ultra sensitive classified area Director: Brisard JC; Spalaikovich A.
