The best propaganda film I have ever seen - just beautiful! It's a shame more than half of the buildings in the capital are empty! Long live North Korea!
When I was a child I had a book speculating as to what the future would be now. This should have been a time of utopian garden cities, atomic powered flying cars piloted by people wearing tight fitting one piece silver suits, and scientific bases on the Moon as well as Mars. Sadly those optimistic predictions were to be unfulfilled: I wonder how many of the people shown on this film realised that within just a few years they would suffer the privations of the Arduous March, or that the unforseen electronic devices we take for granted would become integral to our way of life. In that then distant future which is now we explore the outer planets with robotic probes, the atomic flying machines with their skinsuited pilots fortunately remain a product of the imagination, and the beautiful cites we aspired to live in are far from urban dreams but have become nightmares to inhabit - all except one. That city is Pyongyang. If anyone from the DPRK is reading this, then just pause for a moment to reflect upon what it is you have achieved; even with the new and necessary high rise developments you are keeping the essence of the vision alive. Congratulations and fraternal greetings to you!
Paul Cresswell are you mental? Pyongyan is the nicest city in North Korea because that's is all communism can afford to keep running and even then it's barely...while the empty streets of Pyongyang may look nice the rest of the population starves
@Sticklandian Army lol you can't use streetview in NK other than a few still photos in Pyongyang. The satellite mapping they had no choice on the matter
It‘s propaganda film what NK right now time is pretty much still the same，just had little bit more cars，and those are the examples，that they want you to see not the real one.
@@scottshao3517 Actually, its partially propaganda. In 1994, the North Koreans had a relatively huge inventory of supplies that they had received by trading with the Soviet Union, who’d export materials to the North Koreans at subsidised prices. However, in 1991, the USSR collapsed, these supplies were running low, and it was unfortunately from 1994 onwards, that the North Koreans had to curb consumption of these supplies in store, eventually leading up to the great famine
What a wonderful city...I visited it in 2015. ♥️🇰🇵

They had a severe famine in 1994.
