Finally someone trying to show what china has BEEN DOING TO RELIGIOUS PEOPLE. Btw im not a vice fan because you guys inject your politics too much. Your almost at the point if becoming part of the " machine"
Everyone keeps saying that guys trying not to die. Wells here’s something you might find shocking. HE PROBABLY DID DIE! Imagine when the North Koreans leadership seen that. Also they have a rule that if you do something bad pretty much every Living person who is related to you is punished. So HIS FAMILY IS PROBABLY DEAD TOO!
@@tannerdylan5972 He didnt do anything wrong, they definitely told him to just sit there. What COULD he have done?

It was the fault of the people who choreographed that facade, in not realizing that the cameras would spot the man sitting idley in front of his computer monitor.
“10,000 years” as a saying is pretty standard in Chinese-affiliated cultures. The original saying was “ wanshui aka 万岁”, in Chinese; “banzai, aka wanshui” in Japanese. It’s kind of a way to say “live long and prosper” or “continue to do well”

@@bball3048mmfr Same for me! I have a theory, see if you agree after having watched this: We know that China has re-education camps for people who are caught practicing religion, and they disapprove of believing in any kind of god. I believe they have more metrics to determine if someone believes in a higher power outside of this world than just their personal confession or denouncement of faith. And so if there are simply people who cannot be broken (as in they continue to fail these potentially odd metrics of determination from within their camps) - What if they are sent to North Korea? And so all along North Korea is simply a giant penal colony for Chinese citizens who are seen as "wanting to worship a god". As if to say China is hatefully spiteful towards those who cannot be broken; "if they want to worship a god, they may worship a god". And in truth Kim Jong-un is simply the hired warden, but they are made to be his subjects and worship him as their god as punishment for their crimes of faith. (I do also understand that children are born there, and is an unfortunate consequence). What do you think of this theory to explain the nature of North Korea? And imagine that it is necessary to hide this relationship between China and North Korea from the world for trade relation reasons.

Watching in 2023 but that last section (28:00) really made me smile. Probably the happiest moment in those children's life. Congrats to everyone involved.
The one guy actually working on the computer that they spoke to looked scared and hesitate to speak. Everything on the tour and every where they went looks so staged and practiced. North Korea is scary and this video is amazing.
Thought you guys might find this interesting. I did find a few North Korean physics papers on nature index, one of which was a published paper on string theory. www.natureindex.com/institution-outputs/north-korea/faculty-of-physics-kim-il-sung-university/574d4d45140ba0452c8b4569
well you could say the exact opposite and call everything you know western propaganda. Knowledge isn't that straight forward you know, epistemology and truth ideas do tell us that
I felt so sad for the man who couldn't play in the NBA due to political conflict. Like he said he wasn't interested in politics, the man just loved basketball.
Its happening again with a very talented young football (soccer) player. He played in the top flight in Italy and has since disappeared from the public eye. There are some interesting documentaries on youtube about him, Han Kwang-song, hes still young and ready to play. So sad.
The greatest ally of america,and the only superpower in the world ie pakistan,fyi pak sold the nueclear tech to north korea and during 80s & 90s when pak was stealing nueclear tech from all over the world including usa and eu,america didnt do anything to stop them,cause america thought,let their b chaos in asia,but thy forgot about karma,it turned out pak sold nueclear tech to syria,iran and north korea,israel took care of iran and syria but north korea left,so, let their be fear in americans,of karma atleast
That computer guy was definitely the most interesting and creepy party of this doc. He seemed so on edge and careful with his words. It was as if everything he was saying was scripted and one slip up could get him killed. His hand trembling and his shaky voice was no coincidence.
Visitors to NK are permanently in a tunnel of state organized theatre sets, you never see anything they don't want you to see. The guy was hand picked to spread an image that NK is both open and connected and taking part in the most complex of science. Nothing about any of this is by accident. The thing is that people designing the propaganda don't really understand how well people from the rest of the world see through manipulation like this because were exposed to so much media. To us, it looks obviously staged and or coerced. Like a ransom video.
That last scene with the kids is even more heartbreaking today as it was ten years ago, things have only gotten worse and those kids have had enough time to realize the horror.
What's heartbreaking about it? The media has lied to you that NK people are suffering? The freedom of choosing genders isn't in NK and i think it's good and ok.
I got chills at the computer scene. The guy who gave the talk about string theory was so scared. They probably forced him to read that script for days in advance. So much planning to deceive was put in place on their visit. I almost cried seeing this. Poor people. Poor dolphins.
nah they were saying EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..............................EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..............................................EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
This is absolutely wild. Like a fever dream. Thank you VICE for putting this together. And props to you Dennis Rodman, what a tough position to be in, no matter how you handle it.
North Korea, to me, seems like an example of if the Nazis or Stalin would have won their respective conflicts. No matter what they do to their people the rest of the world just sort of stays out of it. It's almost like we are allowing this social experiment to blossom and we are taking very close notes.
@@joshuaedwards3322agreed... it's incredibly strange for this place to exist throughout our lifetime and for us to do nothing to help those within NKorea's borders. But on the other hand, going in gund-blazing just isn't an option, and I haven't a clue what else the rest of the world could possibly do about it
That's the case in many other countries, for example Eastern European countries. I grew up in small city in Eastern Europe and I saw a black person for the first time at age of 15 or 16.
@@wordpolice7564 i think her finger was hurt from the spinning, not fear of failure... I believe those kids although looking ordinary, probably come from previlige families
As a kid, I experienced special moments I'll remember the rest of my life. Politics aside for a moment, those North Korean kids spending time with the Globe Trotters on the court will carry their experiences for a lifetime. Who would of ever imagined the Harlem globetrotters reaching out to this generation of kids? Amazing!...
You believe Kim jung un is a dictator because your evil propandist western media made you believe so. Have ever wondered the damaging effects of USA sanctions on NK.
Imagine being a VICE journalist being able to shake hands with Kim Jong-un and make a toast in the same table. I mean VICE! They've made many documentaries unfavourable to the DPRK and they get to go to a dinner with the "Dear" Leader. Insane tbh.
The 3 Harlem Globe trotters should get way more recognition in our country after performing the way they did under such circumstances. All they did was entertain and enjoy themselves with the people.
Amazing ambassadors. Walking everywhere with a big smile, interacting with the locals, playing with the kids. These are probably the first Americans that any of them had ever seen in real life.
They’re black. Black people in this country are never given the recognition for the things that we do that is good. Only the bad. I love America for what it offers but it’s never surprising to see things like that.
We need open dialogue with these governments, he tried to do something about it which was admirable and as much as I despise Donald Trump he also tried to open dialoguer as well even if he was still a fucking embarrassment by saluting a random general lol
@@rft9776 No they actually could not make a contract agreement to the team he was going to ( The Dallas Mavericks) where the 6 million dollars which was supposed to go to the player go all to the NK government. So they would basically be giving 6 million US dollars to the NK government every year. Research your history before you do your anti US bullshit.
@@Boooooooooo541 Exactly, but that isn't allowed because of UN sanctions. If NK would've let him keep the money (yeah, right) or if the sanctions wouldn't have been in place it would have been possible.
19:10 - 19:45 they are in a stadium filled with 10,000 people and other than the basketball dribbling, there is barely any background noise. this whole video is eerie but that is especially eerie to me
You can see the pain in the peoples eyes. Some more clearly than others. And there leader almost looks as if hes living in a state of constant fear. When he enters the stadiums, and the crowd applauds his eyes change for a glimpse to that of satisfaction.
Totally agree. Very unique set of circumstances vividly captured. This is absolutely an important piece of history, I’ve watched it all the way through dozens of times over the years.
If anything they will not stop with the anti-American propaganda but those kids on the court will always remember the friendly Americans who came and played basketball with them. That alone may be a start at renewing the country.
Alexander Patrick Since you sound AntiAmerica why don't you go live in North Korea & then you might elaborate more. A country that surpresses it's fellowman. The United States of America may not be a perfect country, but what country is, but sure beats North Korea with their fake shopping mall & computer lab, etc. Supression of religion or faith to add on & countless NK detectors who know the real deal unlike you. Go figure....
Alexander Patrick Criticism of the regime or the leadership in North Korea, if reported, is enough to make you and your family ‘disappear’ from society and end up in a political prison camp. It goes without saying that there is no free media inside the country. The only opinion allowed to be voiced inside the country is the regime’s. It is illegal for the North Korean people to leave their country without the regime’s permission, and the regime attempts to restrict the people’s movement even inside their own country. If you wish to travel to another part of the country, you are supposed to have a specific purpose and obtain permission from your work unit. If you do not live in Pyongyang, the showcase capital where most resources are concentrated, you will likely be denied access. The regime has also forcibly relocated hundreds of thousands of North Koreans to less favorable parts of the country as a form of punishment and political persecution. Who's the real puppet pulling strings in NK?
Dragon Cocplayer No, the USSR started N Korea... Hence them explaining that Kim Jong Sun was put into place by the Russians... But I get it, it's fun to blame everything on the top dawg. As for Al Qaeda and ISIS, while I do believe we fueled the fire, I do not believe we are the cause of them. We did give them guns (Al Qaeda) to fight the Russians in the 80s, though.
Those American basketball players seem like very cool dudes, they handled the whole experience really well, top performance, behavior and attitude in very dangerous circumstances.
The Globetrotters are goodwill ambassadors so they're absolute pros when it comes to things like this. Still, they did a fantastic job since it's very unprecedented to travel to a place like North Korea for a goodwill basketball game with the dictator in the audience.
They tortured and killed him actually. But he was kind of stupid. You can break the rules and they won't even really be mad at you, but do anything that they may interpret as an insult to the leaders or system and that's something else to them.
jojolafrite90 Otto was top of his class in HS and went to University of VA and also happened to be a guy with common sense. My cousins went to hs with him and no one from that school thinks he actually would take down a poster. We can’t ever be sure but
It's very admirable for these guys to give some joy and entertainment to these oppressed people. Dennis got unfairly slammed in the media. I think they all did an amazing thing.
I remember when I was a freshman in high school, around the time this video got released, my global studies class watched this documentary when we were talking about North Korea. Honestly, I don’t think there’s any better way I could’ve been introduced to such a bizarre place.
it was so creepy seeing the employees in the office just staring blankly at a random page on their computer. of course along with the clearly rehearsed and stages laughs, conversations, actors, and tour in general. it feels like a dystopian novel but here it is in real life.
The thing is, even the North Koreans whose job it was to come up with all of these staged events had no idea what a truly busy and **functioning** computer lab sounded like. That's why their oh so expertly choreographed and detailed propaganda shows don't work on Westerners. WE know what it's like - and when something isn't right, we instantly know it. Even if we can't always put our finger on it, we know something isn't wrong. Because the North Koreans can't duplicate the Western world. The absence of typing and clicking sounds probably never occurred to the North Koreans - perhaps they thought Americans and Europeans frequently just sit at their desks and stare at Google's homepage until someone comes along and starts talking to them. Maybe they thought stores in Europe and America are filled with merchandise you can't buy (maybe they thought in the West people go to stores to pick out what they want and then order it online or something ...?). I've watched numerous documentaries about North Korean tours and all of them - regardless of the nationalities of the tourists - always talk about how everything is so obviously staged with entire villages with no one living in them, factories with advanced machines but no workers, farms with no farmers, and there just happens to be smiling well-dressed, patriotic people waiting around every corner.
@@hannable70 if you watch the parts in the computer lab closely you will see that the people are reading things on the computers and I would asusume it’s a sort of study hall. As well With the guy staring at google when they zoom in you can clearly see him click something at the bottom of the screen and there being a world 🌍 emoji meaning it was loading something
Damn its kind of sad that Ri Myong Hun never got to play in the NBA like he wanted, he seemed so happy that some foreigners were in his country playing basketball
@@Knowledgeable_Idiot… well, his prime is in 90s, where basketball is a slow pace, more on physicality plays… he can be like manute Bol or Shawn Bradley in any nba team
It’s heartbreaking to see Ri tell the US players he wants them to come back knowing that it would probably never happen. And Dennis Rodman was always on our side like I said he was at the time. He was panned by the media and hated by many in the US for saying Kim Jong un was his friend. Rodman was on a diplomatic mission, and he never broke character even when he came home because he wanted a distrustful and paranoid world leader with nukes not to target all of us. Dude is brave as hell for going there and a national treasure.
Do you know anything about Dennis Rodman? Dude's got more than a few screws loose, if you think he was putting on an act I've got a nice bridge to sell you
The media wants people to bash Kim... like, what do you think that will accomplish? If we are trying to build a connection, that erases EVERYTHING that was done. All the goodwill out the door.
Honestly it was the most organic thing about their whole time in DPRK. It was genuine. Props to the Globetrotters going out there and doing what they did.
This reminds me of when I went through a foreign exchange program with the Japanese Air Self Defense Force when I was in the Marine Corps. I was the only Marine for miles. The vibe of this video reminds me of how depressed I was due to the differences in lifestyle.
The best part: Dennis Rodman addressing the people first whilst completely ignoring Kim Jong-un, who's visibly annoyed. Then just at the end, he gives him his due.
Prior to the trip Dennis Rodman had close to no idea who Kim Jong-un was. His manager said ok for him to travel there because he didn't know there was such a stark difference between NK and SK, nor did Rodman
@@brothaman1685 that's probably good, he had no previous biases and so wouldn't say the wrong thing without getting the full picture about the country and his situation in it
That statement Is in every way illogical, why would they build an entire shopping plaza, gym, 2 basketball arenas, an entire city and allow for those civilian parents and children at the end to converse for all but 4 Americans?
He's right every aspect of tourism or journalism in North Korea is staged. And the capital isn't the whole country. And sometimes they actually stage a whole empty hotel just for 2 or 3 visiting strangers.
@@jojolafrite90 thats not true at all. I was there in April and nowadays there are so many tourist groups coming in and out daily. Bold statement to say that things are staged. People live their life there, come on now. All those people have a daily life and things to do and things to see.
ok so around 28 minutes there is a whole village of children in awe all acting? like they're acting amazed because they need to act for the cameras? oh so they bred a whole village of children purely for staged purposes? makes total sense.
@@ameenferry4988 There are so many great books out there that gives you a great look at what life is like for the ordinary North Korean. "A Thousand Miles to Freedom: Eunsun Kim", "Escape From Camp 14" and "North Korea Confidential" are some examples. Great books!

Thought you guys might find this interesting. I did find a few North Korean physics papers on nature index, one of which was a published paper on string theory. www.natureindex.com/institution-outputs/north-korea/faculty-of-physics-kim-il-sung-university/574d4d45140ba0452c8b4569
He looked like he was struggling with English
well you could say the exact opposite and call everything you know western propaganda. Knowledge isn't that straight forward you know, epistemology and truth ideas do tell us that
I felt so sad for the man who couldn't play in the NBA due to political conflict. Like he said he wasn't interested in politics, the man just loved basketball.
Political conflict also robbed the nba of prime pre back injury Arvydas Sabonis
Probably a good thing since he has Marfan syndrome
Its happening again with a very talented young football (soccer) player. He played in the top flight in Italy and has since disappeared from the public eye. There are some interesting documentaries on youtube about him, Han Kwang-song, hes still young and ready to play. So sad.
The greatest ally of america,and the only superpower in the world ie pakistan,fyi pak sold the nueclear tech to north korea and during 80s & 90s when pak was stealing nueclear tech from all over the world including usa and eu,america didnt do anything to stop them,cause america thought,let their b chaos in asia,but thy forgot about karma,it turned out pak sold nueclear tech to syria,iran and north korea,israel took care of iran and syria but north korea left,so, let their be fear in americans,of karma atleast
@@Jdkieddjcan u link documentary please ?
That computer guy was definitely the most interesting and creepy party of this doc. He seemed so on edge and careful with his words. It was as if everything he was saying was scripted and one slip up could get him killed. His hand trembling and his shaky voice was no coincidence.
Agree, I noticed it too.
Agreed.
Visitors to NK are permanently in a tunnel of state organized theatre sets, you never see anything they don't want you to see. The guy was hand picked to spread an image that NK is both open and connected and taking part in the most complex of science. Nothing about any of this is by accident.
The thing is that people designing the propaganda don't really understand how well people from the rest of the world see through manipulation like this because were exposed to so much media. To us, it looks obviously staged and or coerced. Like a ransom video.
yeah, people on these videos always have the fear of god on their faces lmao, quite literally considering the kim family is basically divine for them
Meanwhile in the alternate side of the universe. Dude literally shat his pants. True story.

This is absolutely wild. Like a fever dream. Thank you VICE for putting this together. And props to you Dennis Rodman, what a tough position to be in, no matter how you handle it.
North Korea, to me, seems like an example of if the Nazis or Stalin would have won their respective conflicts. No matter what they do to their people the rest of the world just sort of stays out of it. It's almost like we are allowing this social experiment to blossom and we are taking very close notes.
@@joshuaedwards3322agreed... it's incredibly strange for this place to exist throughout our lifetime and for us to do nothing to help those within NKorea's borders. But on the other hand, going in gund-blazing just isn't an option, and I haven't a clue what else the rest of the world could possibly do about it
@@variaxi935 I mean... They literally have (one) nuke. We could probably decapitate their leadership on a weekend.

As a kid, I experienced special moments I'll remember the rest of my life. Politics aside for a moment, those North Korean kids spending time with the Globe Trotters on the court will carry their experiences for a lifetime. Who would of ever imagined the Harlem globetrotters reaching out to this generation of kids? Amazing!...
You believe Kim jung un is a dictator because your evil propandist western media made you believe so. Have ever wondered the damaging effects of USA sanctions on NK.
“I’ve played basketball on North Korean state TV” is not something many can say.
Imagine being a VICE journalist being able to shake hands with Kim Jong-un and make a toast in the same table. I mean VICE! They've made many documentaries unfavourable to the DPRK and they get to go to a dinner with the "Dear" Leader. Insane tbh.
Not just to even shake hands with Kim Jung-un
I'd add that into my resume lmao
Dont know why anybody would WANT to ever say that.
The 3 Harlem Globe trotters should get way more recognition in our country after performing the way they did under such circumstances. All they did was entertain and enjoy themselves with the people.
Oh I fully agree
All Power To The All People
I agree. They were basically acting as foreign diplomats
Amazing ambassadors. Walking everywhere with a big smile, interacting with the locals, playing with the kids. These are probably the first Americans that any of them had ever seen in real life.
They’re black. Black people in this country are never given the recognition for the things that we do that is good. Only the bad. I love America for what it offers but it’s never surprising to see things like that.

If anything they will not stop with the anti-American propaganda but those kids on the court will always remember the friendly Americans who came and played basketball with them.
That alone may be a start at renewing the country.
Agreed! I think this type of gathering can unite and improve relations between N.Korea and the U.S.
Alexander Patrick Since you sound AntiAmerica why don't you go live in North Korea & then you might elaborate more. A country that surpresses it's fellowman. The United States of America may not be a perfect country, but what country is, but sure beats North Korea with their fake shopping mall & computer lab, etc. Supression of religion or faith to add on & countless NK detectors who know the real deal unlike you. Go figure....
Alexander Patrick Criticism of the regime or the leadership in North Korea, if reported, is enough to make you and your family ‘disappear’ from society and end up in a political prison camp. It goes without saying that there is no free media inside the country. The only opinion allowed to be voiced inside the country is the regime’s. It is illegal for the North Korean people to leave their country without the regime’s permission, and the regime attempts to restrict the people’s movement even inside their own country. If you wish to travel to another part of the country, you are supposed to have a specific purpose and obtain permission from your work unit. If you do not live in Pyongyang, the showcase capital where most resources are concentrated, you will likely be denied access. The regime has also forcibly relocated hundreds of thousands of North Koreans to less favorable parts of the country as a form of punishment and political persecution. Who's the real puppet pulling strings in NK?
Dragon Cocplayer No, the USSR started N Korea... Hence them explaining that Kim Jong Sun was put into place by the Russians... But I get it, it's fun to blame everything on the top dawg. As for Al Qaeda and ISIS, while I do believe we fueled the fire, I do not believe we are the cause of them. We did give them guns (Al Qaeda) to fight the Russians in the 80s, though.
Conner Yates e
sad part is alot of those people at the basketball game will remember that as one of the best moments in their entire lives
Those American basketball players seem like very cool dudes, they handled the whole experience really well, top performance, behavior and attitude in very dangerous circumstances.
That’s what the globetrotters are all about. Family fun and entertainment
I was surprised at myself smiling through that section of the video. Just incredibly highly charismatic and skilled guys
They handled it better than the vice guys
The Globetrotters are goodwill ambassadors so they're absolute pros when it comes to things like this. Still, they did a fantastic job since it's very unprecedented to travel to a place like North Korea for a goodwill basketball game with the dictator in the audience.
@@shratzc they acted so much more casual where the vice guy kept looking sus which i dont think is a good idea.

They tortured and killed him actually. But he was kind of stupid. You can break the rules and they won't even really be mad at you, but do anything that they may interpret as an insult to the leaders or system and that's something else to them.

Sammmme
I remember when I was a freshman in high school, around the time this video got released, my global studies class watched this documentary when we were talking about North Korea. Honestly, I don’t think there’s any better way I could’ve been introduced to such a bizarre place.
it was so creepy seeing the employees in the office just staring blankly at a random page on their computer. of course along with the clearly rehearsed and stages laughs, conversations, actors, and tour in general. it feels like a dystopian novel but here it is in real life.
The thing is, even the North Koreans whose job it was to come up with all of these staged events had no idea what a truly busy and **functioning** computer lab sounded like. That's why their oh so expertly choreographed and detailed propaganda shows don't work on Westerners. WE know what it's like - and when something isn't right, we instantly know it. Even if we can't always put our finger on it, we know something isn't wrong. Because the North Koreans can't duplicate the Western world. The absence of typing and clicking sounds probably never occurred to the North Koreans - perhaps they thought Americans and Europeans frequently just sit at their desks and stare at Google's homepage until someone comes along and starts talking to them. Maybe they thought stores in Europe and America are filled with merchandise you can't buy (maybe they thought in the West people go to stores to pick out what they want and then order it online or something ...?). I've watched numerous documentaries about North Korean tours and all of them - regardless of the nationalities of the tourists - always talk about how everything is so obviously staged with entire villages with no one living in them, factories with advanced machines but no workers, farms with no farmers, and there just happens to be smiling well-dressed, patriotic people waiting around every corner.

It’s heartbreaking to see Ri tell the US players he wants them to come back knowing that it would probably never happen. And Dennis Rodman was always on our side like I said he was at the time. He was panned by the media and hated by many in the US for saying Kim Jong un was his friend. Rodman was on a diplomatic mission, and he never broke character even when he came home because he wanted a distrustful and paranoid world leader with nukes not to target all of us. Dude is brave as hell for going there and a national treasure.
I know, that was sad. That guy clearly had ambitions crushed by his government. He seemed like such a nice dude :(
