Being from South Korea, its shocking how different the North is in terms of society and culture. Its incredibly communist, I mean to the extreme and whilst the South is Capitalist. The North is its own little universe with little care or connection to the outside world. The ideals and tyranny of the dictator are being force fed to the people and they're suffering for it. Lets hope change will come soon.

Please help this fools i can't watch this.what is the leaders thing they are god.shame shame.

If anyone was to invade that country they would have to kill all civilians aswell they are that brainwashed

The power is in the army. If they turned against Kim Jong Il the country will fall, but I don't think this will happen anytime soon. The majority of North Koreans worship their leader and have extreme faith in him in whatever he dose. How else would they view him if they have been brainwashed into thinking that this's the only way of life and he's the only leader ? I just hope that the North Koreans will be able to see the reality soon and fight for their rights and for a better country and when that happens, I wish the other countries will participate in freeing them. I don't know how the man in the documentary who fled from the north and now lives in Seoul can live with himself ! How selfish of him, he ruined everything for the people around him just to have a better life. He knew that his family will go to jail if he tried to leave, but that didn't stop him. I would never do such a thing, either I leave with my family or stay with them and have the same life, not leave and live freely in Seoul while they root in jail and have mice for lunch, if they were lucky to even catch them.

Watch "Seoul Train" much better documentary if you're interested in the refugee situation. This doc covers the lives of the privileged in Pyongyang and more of what the North Korean government wants us to see, "Seoul Train" looks at those who have made the leap to escape the country and risking life or imprisonment. I hope people become more aware of the unique situation over there and the issues with reunification.

There's a good doc about North Korea called "Welcome to North Korea" i seen once on cine-max years ago. I haven't been able to find it online but if you ever come across it definitely give it a watch.

a fantastic and beautiful people and county just a shame how all governments do this in one way or another to us all but they just seem to got off it much worse , excellent doc very informative and interesting 5/5

This is worth a watch. It is really difficult to comprehend how oppressed the North Korean people are. Very Sad!!

i hope kim jong il gets killed, and all his children and future successors. i want north korea as we know it to be destroyed ! they are all brian washed and are not given the chance to see how badly he needs to be killed.
