Inside North Korea

This is the first part of a National Geographic documentary about North Korea.

Part 1


Quite possibly one of the most depressing video clips I have ever seen.

Just one thing--according to Micheal Breer, "the juche philosophy basically means 'up yours' to the outside world. We can make everything ourselves, we don't need you."

The Juche ideology is much more than just that--it is a religion, a way of viewing the world. It is God's gift to the North Koreans, for them to spread throughout the world. They believe that they are some kind of Jerusalem of the East, that it is their destiny, their duty, their calling, to share with the world what God has blessed them with. And they want to start by dominating the South and indoctrinating them as well.

Part 2 to come later.
