  It's pretty funny and weird to see what it's like to live inside a total and complete dictatorship country. I have been to Cuba and it is slightly similar to this but not nearly so obvious and in your face how in control the government is of every person in the country. I feel sorry for the regular people of North Korea and really hope they manage to get rid of the weird control freak dictatorship government so they can live normal lives of their own.

  The arrogance of the producers of this piece! I am a photojournalist and it is well-known in our trade that if you go into N.K. as a tourist when you are really a journalist, your North Korean guides and escorts will take the heat and end up the horrific N. Korean Gulag. The flip, dude I'm so cool attitude of the talking head/producer of this is ignorant and disgusting. He comes home with his glorious "coup" and his guides are eating now dirt to survive in prison.

  Shayne Smith was not granted any license to speak with the average person or able to legally visit any place not on the government's approved list. For that reason, he could not make a balanced documentary. When I was in Cuba several years ago, I was able to travel relatively freely and speak to whomever I pleased. There is a lot of sadness in Cuba; labor is underutilized and infrastructure in pieces....

  I thought the flim or documentary was interesting. But how were you able to flim since this is outlawed? My daughter taught English in South Korea, and went up to DMZ and she told me it was like a horror film. She also wrote an article about N. Korea, and is published in Well Traversed.com about the famine. They have to make us the boggie man, since that is how they keep their population in line and always afraid of us, instead of overthrowing the regime. China should be more concerned since they have a huge border with N. Korea, and would have a huge problems with refuges if a war started out and beleive me South Korea armed forces no pushover.

  Isador is a typical delusional left wing idiot that Stalin referred to as a useful idiot. I prefer to call her a dumb kunt

  I heard George Bush accuse North Korea of exactly what the USA is doing. The USA is the biggest Terrorist Nation in the world. They have the Weapons of Mass Destruction, and they have used them. Who are they to dictate to any other nation in the world, as they are the real Terrorist State. They have lost the wars with Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. Now they are using NATO as a screen to steal the resourses of Libya and overthrow their Legitimate Government. May North Korea stand proud and protect it's people from the Capitolist's of the world.

  The N. Koreans would not have the faminse crisis if they spent less money on their military & spend more to feed their people! They are so paranoid & think someone is going to attack them. For what reason???? Who would want that backward country in the first place??? They have exactly what they deserve.

  I spent a year fighting the N. Koreans and the Red Chinese in 1951. I guess they did not learn from my unit just about cutting their forces down to nothing. We were running out of ammo, and they were running out of manpower as we tried to killed all we could. I gues they need another lission.

  An utterly useless, and blatantly jingoistic documentary (and I use the term documentary very loosely; actually more akin to a propaganda film) with no critical understanding of the internal workings & very real external pressures placed upon it. But then what do you expect from Goldman-Sachs whose only aim is to open all markets to plunder for their own financial gain. I am reminded of Milton's quote, "Those who put out the people's eyes, reproach them for their blindness". For a better understanding of the world see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PdJ9TAdTdA

  This is quite anti-DPRK and very one sided. A shame really. I've been there and yes it's strange in lots of ways, but then so is mainland China in comparison to your average western country. Very over the top!
