OT - Inside North Korea

Cool stuff.

Saw a great documentary not too long ago with lots of film from the inside. Looks like it's out of rotation on Netflix, unfortunately. The people there have been taught that the South and US started the war. It is a certainty, in their eyes, that the US will invade someday and their lives are obsessed with being "ready." It may become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
 
Forgot about that @ianoconnor


That summer I was obsessed with North Korea. I watched about 5-6 different documentaries from a few people that were allowed to visit. All pretty much said and showed the same thing. Anything and everything the tourists got to "see" was fake and just for show. The economy and living conditions are horrendous outside the top 1% and the country has brainwashed its citizens to the point that they believe their lives are amazing and that everyone else is flawed.

I pity the citizens who don't know any better. If they have never seen or heard the outside world, how would they know?
