In what way is it worse today? I'm not implying North Korea is in any way satisfactory today and even now they seem to have growing food insecurities. But can today really be worse than the famine years in the 90s?
@@Melange2Kinda? North Korea has continued to isolate itself since the pandemic. It is true that in some respects life in North Korea is better than in the 1990s, but in terms of food there is no significant improvement. Also the fact that Kim Jong Un is focusing more on developing the army makes the situation even worse.
It's gotten worse over the last 20yrs. Ppl in the capital are starving now. The shops may look full but items are not for sale. Ppl run to the board to China and sell what they can to get $. The humanitarian aid that comes in, the twist N Korea states to it's ppl is these are reparations from the Americans for their imperialism attacks. There is a real problem with ppl smoking that the Govt has put up signs to discourage ppl from smoking even though their Leaders smoke more than a Russian steel mill.
If this has actually been shot in 2003 I don't know, but I know that during the peak of the famine the regime declared itself open to foreign humanitarian aid which was exceptional, and that aid was followed by a lot of reporters
This is quite true - as someone who has read a lot of books and watched a lot of documentaries on North Korea. It is not the same anymore - but it was true back when this documentary was aired under Kim-Jong-Il
Honestly from reports it appears to be worse. Malnutrition and lack of basic needs are the same as they've always been, but now due to increases in border technology the people are 100% locked inside with no way out. Defection has become physically impossible. Also, due to this lockdown of the border there are no more black markets which has greatly exacerbated the already trifling situation. FREE NORTH KOREA!!!
There’s a North Korean woman who is escaped and I forget her name but she’s written many books and she’s on TikTok and UA-cam and she’s spoke about the cars of being trafficked at 12 years old
Sadly we have a former President, being Donald Trump, that believes N. Korea is prosperous and thinks Kim Jong Un is a great leader. And he wants the same thing here in America where he is the supreme leader.
20 years later and DPRK is completely transformed state! Even the foreign reporters now suggest there is virtually no famine anymore. The country has a strong nuclear capabilities and has a strong military industry capable of suppling much bigger nations with the arsenal. The cities have modern buildings, free education programs and one of the prettiest subways is located in Pyongyang. Stunning how they managed to prosper ..
@@firstnamelastname492 Exaggerating? What exactly? The DPRK is sanctioned as hard as possible for the past 70 years now, yet they have managed to build everything they did .. Have you seen what the Detroit and California look now? Like a third word country with stores closing all around and shoplifters stealing left and right as state won't prosecute them .. The wealth stratification is horrible, less than 1% is holding 33% wealth of the whole USA
How is that inspite of being impoverished/backward etc. N.Korea is able to produce Missiles, Nuclear weapons that need advanced scientific knowledge ! Even if they are copied from other Nations, advanced knowledge & intelligence is needed to achieve! HOW ! HOW ! ?????
Wow! I can compare North Korea to today's Native American Reservations that are located within the U.S.A! America has one of the wealthiest economy too! 😢😢😢
Not trying to be mean but have you ever even been to a Native American reservation? I know the answer is no given you think it’s sensible to compare them to North Korea 🤦♂️ Why don’t you let the grown ups do the talking and when we need a child, we’ll come grab you. Okay?
It's funny how Wallace criticizes North Koreans for "conformity" when he is desperate for North Korea to conform to capitalism and become just like everywhere else in the world.
North korea has come out of that economic crisis of the 1990s through sheer perseverance and ingenuity...her enemies expected the country to collapse but that did not happen and today the country is a vibrant socialist, people's democracy with a bright shining future under its young leader....
it is honestly sad to see these comments, and judging by the people who are commenting and their channels, i know they arent trolling. I don't know why you have to lie to yourself and look at dictatorships through rose-tinted glasses.
North Korea is dark and south korea is all lit up at night...it just goes to show that while North Koreans r resting at night after a hard day's work , south korea citizens r still working to make ends meet....
Personally, I think that North Korea is a nation that is not really socialist and it has given an example of how it failed unfortunately for decades in historical terms.
North Korea is an amazing country with a great nation. The journalist's movie may have been biased; he only filmed what impressed him. This is the most subjective reporting. Exactly the same hungry children live in America, in Europe, but there is still a lot of drug abuse. It's even worse than in Korea
Rest in peace Mike Wallace. What a wonderful journalist.
What about the supreme leader
And it’s so much worse today

How did the 60 Minutes crew and Staff got in and out of North Korea safely? How did they manage to film a lot of their visit there?
Lol

That's partly how I grew up, and my parents are astonished that I'm letting them die alone.
Tears in Heaven and Earth.
This is one of the reasons why North Korea is the most depressing country in the world.
The most depressing one is not Korea. The most depressed country is ruled by a small democratic dictator whose last name resembles greenbacks
So the interview actually happened? 😆
He wasn't hungry with gut on him. His son is the same. They could get those leaders but they need someone to be an enemy.
😢😢😢

Still it is bad.
Its worse now

How can this happen an we what don't care?😢
Have… have you heard of this thing called the Korean War…?? Maybe you’ve heard of it before 🤦♂️
There’s a North Korean woman who is escaped and I forget her name but she’s written many books and she’s on TikTok and UA-cam and she’s spoke about the cars of being trafficked at 12 years old
Unfortunately she was exposed as making things up. Yeonmi, right? There are many other defectors who seem to be more truthful
this seems like absolute propaganda: beer bootle IVs?
they showed a video of it
Your username is so North Korean lol
I don’t understand how you’re reporting that this is news because everything in the show is old news
bro this is from 2003..
This isn’t posted as new news. It clearly says 2003 in the title
It is news to the ignorant

Yes it is, as the uploaders made clear by typing in the year the documentary came out in the title..

Almost 30 million people live there…
Because that's where all the government's income goes rather than feeding the people and providing them with basic necessities.

Yet Madeleine Halfbrite said Kim Jong Il was a great leader, very very sad
No, Kim Jong Il’s father Kim Il Sung’s title is “Great Leader.” She didn’t say he was a “great leader.” Very, very sad you don’t grasp the difference.
