It is so sad how the maneger from Poland said we must have them because they work day and night not like the workers from Poland whom they want free days .He does not want to think for a second that this poor nord Koreans are also human beings like himself!Because they use this poor souls they are realy are worse then criminals !!
This shows that the government knows. If a Polish company forced workers to work 10 hours 7 days a week, there would be a scandal in no time. Yet the Koreans work like that and no labour control stops them.
The irony that British employees prefer polish workers because they work hard and reliable,.I can attest to that ,my polish colleagues just get the job done not moaning and whingeing.
British construction companies also like the Polish because they work for less and the wages down for us who have mortgages and live here all our lives instead of sending everything they earn out the country.
@@confusedbadger6275 They cannot pay less than the NMW in UK but if you mean Agency workers you have weak Trade Unionism to blame for allowing that to creep in. As for "sending everything they earn out the country", as it's their earnings they can spend it wherever they wish. The NK workers in the documentary don't have that choice as they see nothing of their earnings and cannot challenge it.
They need to do a better job blurring the people being interviewed's faces. You can pick up on several characteristics that could nail that person down, especially if they know the city. If there's only 500 people, it's only a matter of time before they can match those attributes to a handful of workers and narrow it down from there, or just punish them all just to be safe.
Exactly my thought…. I think it would be easy for us to see who and who is not the guy in the car from 100 and more people….I will easily cross check fat ones and super skinny ones…
Agreed. Watching this made me very nervous. They could, and often do, easily punish people just for a suspicion. The worker may claim, for instance, that they didn't reveal anything and refused to talk, but they'll punish them (and likely their families) anyway 'just in case'
Like the North Korean said himself, they will break all their joints and then kill them. There is no reason to think that did not actually happen as the documentary filmers exposed several identities unless they used actors. For example the close up shot of his ear, unique pattern not blurred at all. How stupid are the one who where supposed to protect the informants identity? Punishment also apply to 3 generations, their whole family will be in concentration camps because of the filmers carelessness.
Western companies operating in Europe are constantly complaining that market conditions in Europe (especially here in Scandinavia) make it impossible to compete internationally. What they mean is that wages are too high. After watching this docu you understand why.
They want people to work for next to nothing and when they can't find people to work they bring in the N Koreans. Disgusting. Money matters more than anything for some people.

Imagine for one moment, you're a small, highly developed nation, in Europe, few million people. Liberal, open society, working judicial system, all that. You look east, China and India have more than a billion inhabitants. China is a totalitarian state, and India runs a caste system, both runs completely counter to our values. South east Asia, Middle east, and then south to Africa, they have hundreds of millions of citizens. Russia, China are corrupt af, dysfunctional judicial system, the Phillipines executes drug dealers without trial, Africa is one ethnic war after the other and not much else, they have zero governance, totally corrupt. Middle East and some Islamic countries preach a holy war, openly, against the west. They prosecute homosexuals. Governance is abysmal. Education is mostly low, no significant infrastructure apart from what the west financed. And nearly every country in between is no better. Most states are dictatorships or oligsrchies, almost none are democratic. Here and there is a shining star, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, a few states/cities here and there that do ok to well, that's it. South America is a humanitarian catastrophe. And everyone thinks you owe them reparations or whatnot because colonialism. Also, many of them develop nuclear weapons. If you look at the world from Europe (460m people), you all are a problem of some sort. All 6.5 billion of you. There is no one you can consciously do business with. Some are worse than others, but essentially, you all are trouble. Get it? From our perspective, this entire planet is hostile, even incl. US.

i just watched this awesome documentary. however, i cant help but point out how these journalists would just out of nowhere approach or barged in the workers' barracks. while you aim for a good documentary, dont forget your responsibility of making sure you will not endanger those workers' life.
The ones who talked in this documentary are probably dead unless they used actors. They did not blur details like the ears in the close up shots and that can be used to identify a person in a group of 50 or even thousands. I hate when documentary filmers don't care about the security of the informants as long as they get their material and money.
As a Chinese, it is a shame that the Chinese companies cannot pay the money to the North Korean workers directly and fund them to North Korean central government in stead. It has nothing to do with any countries for the hiring forced North Korean labors . It is caused by the greedy business men. If they could have access to the cheap North Korean labors source ,they will hire them at 1/2 or even cheaper labor cost for sure.
No communist dictatorship like China will ever pay foreigners from another favoured communist dictatorship directly..of course the money goes directly to the North Korean government coffers...for the benefit of Kim Jung Un and his cronies....
It's also sad to know that everyone who did talk to them might be dead or injured right now... The problem by bringing this to light Is that it also endangeres them all :/

@@nickacelvn No they exposed the informants by not blurring everything. I could pick several of them out in a group of 200 by the information that was leaked in this documentary. For example the close up shot of his ear, not blurred at all. Unique pattern right there and there is no way North Korean security service did not use that to find him. More sad is that punishment apply to 3 generations.. Whole family are in a concentration camp now because of the carelessness when blurring. In a case like this the only resonable protection is to use actors and not even show anything of the real informants.
A lot of these probably built the stadiums for the world cup in Qatar aswell. The Gulf states are notorious for using cheap or forced labour, it happens on practically every building project in the UAE
Cheap yes but cheap to some standards. They get paid more than they would in say India despite this. But not forced because they can leave anytime, they just won't get paid like anywhere else in the world.
@@ahassen1236 totally untrue. Qatari companies takes worker passports, they give them a document saying that they are not citizen of Qatar therefore they are not under Qatar laws. In this way companies treat them as slaves
Yes, they exploit Indians, Africans, and Filipinos. Paying them very low wages and when you are non-Muslim, you are looked down upon. Many are abused. Their passports are taken away, and every year, a lot of the women are raped and murdered.
Greetings sir, I'm administrator of sun news. I'm sorry, I've just wanted to ask and reply, thanks for patience. Users who sent pro-russian comments and channels, such as Tim lul (who always type hate comments), TIME NOW are Kremlin propogandists.
BS documentary,how is a place monitored but wen workers go to work leave the place open for these guys to enter,as usual western propaganda..NORTH KOREA gets it money from business people from USA AND EUROPE! ALL LUXURY THINGS COME FROM THE WESTERN WORLD
Workers are exploited the world over. Workers make all the elite ,luxurious objects in the world. Buckingham Palace - designed, constructed and maintained by workers some so badly paid, they do not have enough to eat, heat or buy a house. Rolls Royces- designed, manufactured by workers . Some of them cannot read or write, starve and die in poverty. My son used to paint parts of Bentleys. He was paid the minimum wage. Hospitals,guns ,bombs, theatres etc. all made run and maintained by workers. Even the luxury watches ,Yachts are all made by poor workers and a few better paid workers like architects, planners lawyers etc.
Nothing and absolutely nothing is permanent under this sun. All shall pass one of these fine days and the people of N. Korea shall live to tell the story.
no way that is even the WORST. like china and russia are notriously human rights denyiers, poland has to comply with eu but we all know that they have different ethics. BUT DENMARK??????? that is so surreal..... also the fact that they do not condone any refugee to come in, because they dont want a multidiverseculture, but no inviting NOrth Korean slaves is doesna matter!!! fuck denmark
We have something similar called "agency workers" you freely join a agency and they get you work at minimum wage but charge the employer a whole lot more like double,It's all legal but if you got that job with out the agency's help you get all of the money
@@Johnketes54 the french invented this system but due to backlash and protests from the workers they decided that the agency has to pay the same as if you were directly employed. It’s modern slavery and in 50-100 years our children will be thinking how could such a system in first world countries existed
You mean current government? Quote from the video:"suspicions were raised when a north korean died in Gdynia in 2014". The current govenment was voted in a year later. This has been happening since communist times under EVERY party and every one was well aware of it really...
I worked on a farm in vic Australia with Cambodian workers. They worked for one Bloke who would send the workers to the farm. All the hours were tallied up the Bloke who brings the workers gets paid all they're money then he pays them. Its a scam they should get their wages not some wanker who sends them out to work then he collects the pay for them. But thats Victoria 2015-16 i bet its still going on now.
There are a few scams like that. They get exposed and prosecuted every so often. The problem usually I think is the workers can't speak English and don't know fair work commission or whatever authority. It's a profitable business strategy. No morals.
But thats how most compagnies work, if i work for an employer that pays me for example 20 euro an hour, he most likely recieves 30+ euro an hour for my work, thats how it works when you dont work for yourself.
It is happening since commie times. It was normal back then that north koreans were working in eastern block countries. The inflow diminished over the years but it never fully stopped.
These Russians are so in it! They basically enforce monitoring of these North Korean slave workers. See how NK watchers were able to immediately tip Russian security agents of the that very brief incident. They move so quick. Extremely disgusting how these gov'ts not only consent to human trafficking but are also partner in crimes.
Lech Walesa improved working conditions in the Polish shipyards and look what the Poles are doing to the North Koreans for the sake of cheap labor and slavery-I hope the Polish people stand up again for human rights! Be brave Poland!
Showing a site where they are building is very dangerous for them. Because even if theif faces are covered their supervisors know the sites and will definately be able to identify the workers
The difference now is that most of the polish shipyards are owned by foreign companies. Looks like this N.Korean hired company slipped through the cracks and this happened in 2016 according to this documentary. I doubt it’s still happening
This is one of best Reportages , I ever have seen. Gorgeous WORK ,Thank You !!! THIS should become steady matter in basic Schools All over the Earth !!!
It's a really informative documentary however I have a suggestions of improving the size and colour of the translation text. White text on white or grey background is almost impossible to read. Also if the size could get a little bit bigger it would make it easier to read from devices like mobiles
That’s why they’re the worlds wealthiest family…. You’ll find that across the board though!! Just look at Jeff Bezos and the stories that come out of his giant Amazon factories from labourers to delivery drivers the amount of work they’re pushed to do for minimum wage and in some cases the conditions they have to tolerate from only having 1 toilet in a mega factory to lack of breaks during a work day etc etc…. Ok I don’t think Elon Musk is as bad as Amazon but I’m starting to hear a few stories now of the amount of work expected by employees with unimaginable deadlines to meet etc etc…. One thing that really bothers me are unrealistic deadlines!! Jobs that should usually take 2years being forced to be completed in 8-12mths it’s all greed it’s all about $$$
The only problem is that the people can't wake up from the sleep which they have been put to sleep in believing that they don't have the power. Once people release that they own the power things may be different.
The North Korean government also synthesise methamphetamine of the highest quality and sell it overseas as well as Fentanyl and Heroin….3/4 of the NK population are high on meth…apparently it is perfectly legal to have a certain amount in your possession and it is even used to supplement wages to pay people instead of money
Slavery in North Korea is no secret. That's how kleptocracies operate. North Koreans working overseas should be given diplomatic immunity and direct paychecks.
The most saddest thing is that the paychecks goes directly into the Kim dynasty bank account which, from latest news we got from NK, goes only to the nuclear program. Imagine that most of these workers think they still work to provide for their families who do not exist anymore because they already died of hunger. And I canˇt imagine what would the workers do if they ever find out.
Slavery is not a new thing in Korea. Slavery was alive and well in Korea for a thousand years before the Japanese took over Korea and abolished slavery in 1933.
BS, serfdom and slavery gradually died down in the 18th century, while the Japanese de jure abolished slavery they replaced it with "labour conscription" once the second Sino-Japanese war started. Rural population was rounded up and sent to work involving extremely harsh conditions with high risk of death.
It's heartbreaking and very sad, how can there still be human slavery in this modern era, and what makes it even more heartbreaking is that many countries are involved 😢😢
All dictators including the African and Caribbean/South American ones are slaveholders. All try to cover up the slavery by keeping the people very poor and their inner circle very rich. Then they allow their slaves to sign up for jobs overseas to "make money". Money however goes to their dictator's luxurious lifestyle. Examples from the news: Countless young African men have ended up in Russia to go to university with their own dictator governments paying them a monthly allowance. Then after a couple of months the allowance disappears. Either no one hires them or they are setup with drugs and jailed. For those who remain jobless, they are told to enlist in RU's frontlines in Ukraine. Those who are on their way to jail or already there are given the opportunity to be pardoned by enlisting. Cuban dictator allowed a Russian "Employment Agency" to recruit young males to work in construction in RU. They ended up on the frontlines of the war instead. The few that realized in Russia before being transported there that they were next, quickly made a short video of their experience and uploaded it. The ones already on the frontlines were reported dead already. China sent slaves to work in Russia who were fed dog food. (Yes, you read that right).
even in such worse situations the ingenuity of the human spirit to go on always shows up . but all the elites all over the world have similar interests in keeping themselves very very well . and we all have to somehow survive . and yes some do swim further , only some
Remember what happened to the Ceaucescus in Romania? They oppressed their people for so long but finally the people rebelled. You live by the sword, you die by the sword.
Very good documentary highlighting the issue of slavary in North Korea. I doubt we will ever know the true extent of this slave trade. Big building companies are also at blame for hiring this cheap labour, there is corruption all along the chain, with other countries involved, i think its a global shame ! The north korean deflectors have my utter most respect, i cant begin to imagine the fear, not just for the deflector, but for the family left behind. I hope this awful dictorship crumbles soon. As the sanctions show, this should have no place in 2022
Don"t hold ur breath these tyrants would not go without causing damage to free contries in the area..the only hope is an internal coup..and a hope for a moderate regime.Do not forget though that China another dictatorship may support Kim's holding onto power...sad as it is.
In Denmark a couple construction companies tried to use basically Polish slaves - people working for pennies under very poor conditions. The construction sites were shut down by the authorities and the companies were given an ultimatum: pay everyone a proper wage and give them proper working conditions, or lose your business license. Unfortunately there are many countries around us, like the UK, Poland, and Russia especially, who couldn't care less how workers are treated and lets this blatant slavery continue
Not just financial slaves, they are Kim Jong Un slaves. The whole country serves those fat guy,supporting him to get more far and same time the people are dieing from starvation.....
I’m surprised by this, though it’s not the first time I’ve heard about it, what surprises me is that nk allow people out into the real world. Seeing first hand that nk isn’t a paradise or the best place to live.
They hold their families hostage. If you run away from NK they put 3 generations of your family in the slave labor prisons and your family is given "hostile" rank in the country and can never amount to anything.
These companies are responsible for funding the north Korean nuclear regime and the the governments that encourage or turn a blind eye to N. Korean laborers are also liable and guilty.
they do have a million child slaves. A North Korean starts their working life at the age of 5 - they have no concept of minors. There isn't even a term for "minor" or "child labour" in their language
I love how we're all sad about them and Literally living off of their free labour. We're all HYPOCRITES!. 😑 It is not the mistake that has been done that makes us a bad person but NOT CORRECTING the mistake is what makes us monsters.
You have to watch this people who sleep 2 hours a night to survive. '' Working & Homeless: The Death of the American Dream | Poverty in the USA Documentary ''
how are we living off of their free labour? i think they are mostly in siberia russia, china , mongolia and africa. if you are in that region still not everyone is benefiting in their labour unless every worker in the world is North korean? it doesnt make any sense.
Sadly, yet another documentary, confirming the levels of depravity, man has exercised in exploiting the vulnerable, for personal gain. The more insight I acquire through this type of exposure, the more my faith in mankind dwindles. It's becoming overwhelmingly depressing watching the true underbelly of society, and leaves me with little hope for social redemption!
People will always starve on American streets, British streets as well. We are not socially structured to protect people weaker than ourselves or to offer help. We are inward looking.
It is so sad how the maneger from Poland said we must have them because they work day and night not like the workers from Poland whom they want free days .He does not want to think for a second that this poor nord Koreans are also human beings like himself!Because they use this poor souls they are realy are worse then criminals !!
Slavery indulged by the rich. Poor people being sold to work for free.

I think the North Korean "informants" identities were pretty well masked. It was the managers who all showed their faces.
malaysia capture and send senior(n.Korea) to USA face money laundering charges and N.korea react by exit/cut ties with malaysia.. ua-cam.com/video/3s1lAu1xsrA/v-deo.html&ab_channel=ArirangNews
@@nickacelvn No they exposed the informants by not blurring everything. I could pick several of them out in a group of 200 by the information that was leaked in this documentary. For example the close up shot of his ear, not blurred at all. Unique pattern right there and there is no way North Korean security service did not use that to find him. More sad is that punishment apply to 3 generations.. Whole family are in a concentration camp now because of the carelessness when blurring.
In a case like this the only resonable protection is to use actors and not even show anything of the real informants.
Same thoughts here. I hope they are all fine. After the regime found out about this.
Outstanding coverage. Great job.
Brave people speaking up. These monsters need to be brought down for treating human beings like this. 😱
A lot of these probably built the stadiums for the world cup in Qatar aswell. The Gulf states are notorious for using cheap or forced labour, it happens on practically every building project in the UAE
Cheap yes but cheap to some standards. They get paid more than they would in say India despite this. But not forced because they can leave anytime, they just won't get paid like anywhere else in the world.
@@ahassen1236 North Korean labourers can't leave. They are kept under constant surveillance.
@@ahassen1236 totally untrue. Qatari companies takes worker passports, they give them a document saying that they are not citizen of Qatar therefore they are not under Qatar laws. In this way companies treat them as slaves
Found the Qatari shill
Yes, they exploit Indians, Africans, and Filipinos. Paying them very low wages and when you are non-Muslim, you are looked down upon. Many are abused. Their passports are taken away, and every year, a lot of the women are raped and murdered.
It'll be so easy to recognise the person by the authorities even if they are blurred in the video.
I imagine the word "consequences" is equal to "torture" ... ! This is all inhuman.
1:14 In North Korea, "dollar" is called 딸라 (ddalla), not 달러 (dalleo)
Very informative investigation. A sick world we are living in
Greetings sir, I'm administrator of sun news. I'm sorry, I've just wanted to ask and reply, thanks for patience. Users who sent pro-russian comments and channels, such as Tim lul (who always type hate comments), TIME NOW are Kremlin propogandists.
Very sad situation for the workers 😔😔
BS documentary,how is a place monitored but wen workers go to work leave the place open for these guys to enter,as usual western propaganda..NORTH KOREA gets it money from business people from USA AND EUROPE! ALL LUXURY THINGS COME FROM THE WESTERN WORLD
😔
Workers are exploited the world over. Workers make all the elite ,luxurious objects in the world. Buckingham Palace - designed, constructed and maintained by workers some so badly paid, they do not have enough to eat, heat or buy a house. Rolls Royces- designed, manufactured by workers . Some of them cannot read or write, starve and die in poverty. My son used to paint parts of Bentleys. He was paid the minimum wage. Hospitals,guns ,bombs, theatres etc. all made run and maintained by workers. Even the luxury watches ,Yachts are all made by poor workers and a few better paid workers like architects, planners lawyers etc.
Nothing and absolutely nothing is permanent under this sun. All shall pass one of these fine days and the people of N. Korea shall live to tell the story.
Hhahaha doubt it very much
19:37 shouldve blurred it better. If I knew this guy personally, i wouldve easily identified him.
He is probably gone. RIP
Brilliant documentary!
i remember there was big scandal about this in denmark on a ship yard they had north korean workers working on navy/military vessels
no way that is even the WORST. like china and russia are notriously human rights denyiers, poland has to comply with eu but we all know that they have different ethics. BUT DENMARK??????? that is so surreal..... also the fact that they do not condone any refugee to come in, because they dont want a multidiverseculture, but no inviting NOrth Korean slaves is doesna matter!!! fuck denmark
You should have called the police!!!
With this government everything is possible. I am ashamed as a Pole that this happens in my country.
I know it's all about money,so your government officials are getting paid alot of zlotys
We have something similar called "agency workers" you freely join a agency and they get you work at minimum wage but charge the employer a whole lot more like double,It's all legal but if you got that job with out the agency's help you get all of the money
@@Johnketes54 the french invented this system but due to backlash and protests from the workers they decided that the agency has to pay the same as if you were directly employed. It’s modern slavery and in 50-100 years our children will be thinking how could such a system in first world countries existed
You mean current government? Quote from the video:"suspicions were raised when a north korean died in Gdynia in 2014". The current govenment was voted in a year later. This has been happening since communist times under EVERY party and every one was well aware of it really...
Taky jsem v šoku, vůbec jsem to nevěděla.
I worked on a farm in vic Australia with Cambodian workers. They worked for one Bloke who would send the workers to the farm. All the hours were tallied up the Bloke who brings the workers gets paid all they're money then he pays them. Its a scam they should get their wages not some wanker who sends them out to work then he collects the pay for them. But thats Victoria 2015-16 i bet its still going on now.
There are a few scams like that. They get exposed and prosecuted every so often. The problem usually I think is the workers can't speak English and don't know fair work commission or whatever authority. It's a profitable business strategy. No morals.
But thats how most compagnies work, if i work for an employer that pays me for example 20 euro an hour, he most likely recieves 30+ euro an hour for my work, thats how it works when you dont work for yourself.
I think they're called gang masters in the UK, and it's legal.
I can understand the Russians and Chinese being complicit but shame on you Poland and EU.
It is happening since commie times. It was normal back then that north koreans were working in eastern block countries. The inflow diminished over the years but it never fully stopped.
These Russians are so in it! They basically enforce monitoring of these North Korean slave workers. See how NK watchers were able to immediately tip Russian security agents of the that very brief incident. They move so quick. Extremely disgusting how these gov'ts not only consent to human trafficking but are also partner in crimes.
I feel sick to know some people see others like machines and not as human beings
Lech Walesa improved working conditions in the Polish shipyards and look what the Poles are doing to the North Koreans for the sake of cheap labor and slavery-I hope the Polish people stand up again for human rights! Be brave Poland!
Lol yeah don’t worry that there is tens of thousands of them is Russia and likely 100’s of thousands. People are too ignorant these days.
Doing the same and not caring, just like the poles are treated in the west. It is what it is.
Showing a site where they are building is very dangerous for them. Because even if theif faces are covered their supervisors know the sites and will definately be able to identify the workers
Shut up
Oh, the irony…
The shipyard in Poland is one of those who striked against the communist regime for better, more humane treatment in 1980.
The difference now is that most of the polish shipyards are owned by foreign companies. Looks like this N.Korean hired company slipped through the cracks and this happened in 2016 according to this documentary. I doubt it’s still happening
Q: what caused the Roman empire collapse?
A: The pandemics, corruption, wars, slavery, inflation,... WAIT A MINUTE...!
Average earnings being a dollar a month. This statistic saddens me. Imagine having to feed a family for four!
This is one of best Reportages , I ever have seen. Gorgeous WORK ,Thank You !!! THIS should become steady matter in basic Schools All over the Earth !!!
It's a really informative documentary however I have a suggestions of improving the size and colour of the translation text. White text on white or grey background is almost impossible to read. Also if the size could get a little bit bigger it would make it easier to read from devices like mobiles
34:18 the wealthiest Family hires the cheapest laboureres... Red Shield.. ROTSCHIELD...
That’s why they’re the worlds wealthiest family…. You’ll find that across the board though!! Just look at Jeff Bezos and the stories that come out of his giant Amazon factories from labourers to delivery drivers the amount of work they’re pushed to do for minimum wage and in some cases the conditions they have to tolerate from only having 1 toilet in a mega factory to lack of breaks during a work day etc etc…. Ok I don’t think Elon Musk is as bad as Amazon but I’m starting to hear a few stories now of the amount of work expected by employees with unimaginable deadlines to meet etc etc…. One thing that really bothers me are unrealistic deadlines!! Jobs that should usually take 2years being forced to be completed in 8-12mths it’s all greed it’s all about $$$
I can't understand why Poland, that suffered a lot with communism in the past, to accept this kind of stuff in its territory...
The only problem is that the people can't wake up from the sleep which they have been put to sleep in believing that they don't have the power.
Once people release that they own the power things may be different.
They have more freedom than you do Yuliya 💋
The North Korean government also synthesise methamphetamine of the highest quality and sell it overseas as well as Fentanyl and Heroin….3/4 of the NK population are high on meth…apparently it is perfectly legal to have a certain amount in your possession and it is even used to supplement wages to pay people instead of money
for real? i knew abt the dealing part... but hell i didnt know that almost the whole population is addicted wtf.
Slavery in North Korea is no secret. That's how kleptocracies operate. North Koreans working overseas should be given diplomatic immunity and direct paychecks.
Thanks for sharing,appreciate it and learned lots of new information 😢😢😢

The most saddest thing is that the paychecks goes directly into the Kim dynasty bank account which, from latest news we got from NK, goes only to the nuclear program. Imagine that most of these workers think they still work to provide for their families who do not exist anymore because they already died of hunger. And I canˇt imagine what would the workers do if they ever find out.
Slavery is not a new thing in Korea. Slavery was alive and well in Korea for a thousand years before the Japanese took over Korea and abolished slavery in 1933.
BS, serfdom and slavery gradually died down in the 18th century, while the Japanese de jure abolished slavery they replaced it with "labour conscription" once the second Sino-Japanese war started. Rural population was rounded up and sent to work involving extremely harsh conditions with high risk of death.
True journalism
Not only Russia but in several Gulf Arab countries as well.
And poland and china
North Korea, when a regime structures itself like a mafia
It's heartbreaking and very sad, how can there still be human slavery in this modern era, and what makes it even more heartbreaking is that many countries are involved 😢😢
All dictators including the African and Caribbean/South American ones are slaveholders. All try to cover up the slavery by keeping the people very poor and their inner circle very rich. Then they allow their slaves to sign up for jobs overseas to "make money". Money however goes to their dictator's luxurious lifestyle.
Examples from the news:
Countless young African men have ended up in Russia to go to university with their own dictator governments paying them a monthly allowance. Then after a couple of months the allowance disappears. Either no one hires them or they are setup with drugs and jailed. For those who remain jobless, they are told to enlist in RU's frontlines in Ukraine. Those who are on their way to jail or already there are given the opportunity to be pardoned by enlisting.
Cuban dictator allowed a Russian "Employment Agency" to recruit young males to work in construction in RU. They ended up on the frontlines of the war instead. The few that realized in Russia before being transported there that they were next, quickly made a short video of their experience and uploaded it. The ones already on the frontlines were reported dead already.
China sent slaves to work in Russia who were fed dog food. (Yes, you read that right).
even in such worse situations the ingenuity of the human spirit to go on always shows up . but all the elites all over the world have similar interests in keeping themselves very very well . and we all have to somehow survive . and yes some do swim further , only some
Wolność i Pokój 🕊 narodowi👪✋(pozdrawia Poland🌹)
Remember what happened to the Ceaucescus in Romania? They oppressed their people for so long but finally the people rebelled. You live by the sword, you die by the sword.
So is this like Canadian mining company Sherritt paying for miners in Cuba?
UK in less than 7 years
Very good documentary highlighting the issue of slavary in North Korea. I doubt we will ever know the true extent of this slave trade. Big building companies are also at blame for hiring this cheap labour, there is corruption all along the chain, with other countries involved, i think its a global shame !
The north korean deflectors have my utter most respect, i cant begin to imagine the fear, not just for the deflector, but for the family left behind. I hope this awful dictorship crumbles soon. As the sanctions show, this should have no place in 2022
Don"t hold ur breath these tyrants would not go without causing damage to free contries in the area..the only hope is an internal coup..and a hope for a moderate regime.Do not forget though that China another dictatorship may support Kim's holding onto power...sad as it is.
In Denmark a couple construction companies tried to use basically Polish slaves - people working for pennies under very poor conditions. The construction sites were shut down by the authorities and the companies were given an ultimatum: pay everyone a proper wage and give them proper working conditions, or lose your business license. Unfortunately there are many countries around us, like the UK, Poland, and Russia especially, who couldn't care less how workers are treated and lets this blatant slavery continue
1:57 Samsung are building trucks? Didn't know that.
Damai sejahtera semua nya setiap negara ", semoga kepala negara"di berikan nurani yang baik tidak gampang terprofokator dari oknum "mana pun 🙏🙏.
Slavery in our modern world is such a sad thing what a human can do to another one for greed!
EU EU EU. The promoter of human rights and the one who violates it under the table. Got no shame at all.
Financial slavery not a good thing though. On the record!
Not just financial slaves, they are Kim Jong Un slaves. The whole country serves those fat guy,supporting him to get more far and same time the people are dieing from starvation.....
poor workers, those company ceo's should be in jail
Ive long suspected this but no proof
THANK YOU FOR SHEDDING SOME LIGHT THAT I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG 💗💗💗
Stop telling lies
I’m surprised by this, though it’s not the first time I’ve heard about it, what surprises me is that nk allow people out into the real world. Seeing first hand that nk isn’t a paradise or the best place to live.
They hold their families hostage. If you run away from NK they put 3 generations of your family in the slave labor prisons and your family is given "hostile" rank in the country and can never amount to anything.
Yeah, but they are being watched every second. Very hard to escape.
They work and live in a fucking shipyard, I would imagine NK is paradise in comparison
they cant leave their work/living space, they see nothing
Great informative documentary.
"Red Shield" reminds me of Rothschild.
Untouchable.

Working for Dutch and Polish companies.. I see the true Democracy in those countries 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
Never in the video was even talked about them working for Dutch compagnies lol, they work in Russia and Poland.
Search by your self and you will find it out.
Study of University Leiden for example
dutchhhhh?????????????????????????????????????
This professor that studied about the North Korean labour problems is Dutch you idiot
These companies are responsible for funding the north Korean nuclear regime and the the governments that encourage or turn a blind eye to N. Korean laborers are also liable and guilty.
North Korea could have a million child slaves but people would still be more upset about western slavery that happened centuries ago🤯
How can u be so heartless.
Thats all due to western media brainwashing Europeans to feel quilt about antediluvian misinformation and to ignore todays corruption.
they do have a million child slaves. A North Korean starts their working life at the age of 5 - they have no concept of minors. There isn't even a term for "minor" or "child labour" in their language
@@stiannobelisto573 your right there #africans.
Dziekuje bardzo Happy to see video.
봐주셔서 감사합니다!!
It no difference over in North Korea then anywhere else in the world,we all work the government's take a lot of your $$
So, this is what real socialism looks like...
Not socialism..... pure autocracy
North Korea has replaced Marxisim with Juche for a long time
What can they do when you put sanctions on then?
imagine living in the country where everything is corrupt- welcome to Russia
Go to America is paradise there, ha ha ha .
I think this is sad can't we all live together and save the world just think what mankind could achieve we we all got together.
I love how we're all sad about them and Literally living off of their free labour.
We're all HYPOCRITES!. 😑
It is not the mistake that has been done that makes us a bad person but NOT CORRECTING the mistake is what makes us monsters.
So how do you propose we do that?????? Send money????? 🤣. Just what we need another Democrat....with all the answers!!!!
@@loganbothwell543 what?
You have to watch this people who sleep 2 hours a night to survive. '' Working & Homeless: The Death of the American Dream | Poverty in the USA Documentary ''
@@loganbothwell543 0
how are we living off of their free labour? i think they are mostly in siberia russia, china , mongolia and africa. if you are in that region still not everyone is benefiting in their labour unless every worker in the world is North korean? it doesnt make any sense.
What a horror for these people. I have some Korean neighbours and they are just lovely .
Sadly, yet another documentary, confirming the levels of depravity, man has exercised in exploiting the vulnerable, for personal gain. The more insight I acquire through this type of exposure, the more my faith in mankind dwindles. It's becoming overwhelmingly depressing watching the true underbelly of society, and leaves me with little hope for social redemption!
It's like some sne Lock you in A room and again say Ur not going out of place WHAT ANSER CAN TOU GIVE!??
as people starve on American streets we do nothing accept point out it happens in other country's to.
People will always starve on American streets, British streets as well.
We are not socially structured to protect people weaker than ourselves or to offer help.
We are inward looking.
@@laurencelockwood6209 well as america starts yet more wars and still let's its peoples starve and pay the costs through taxes.
1 dollar a month yes, I bet a loaf of bread there doesn’t cost 2 dollars like mine does
These are human beings we must put a stop to this I agree with the Japanese on this
nice work
Giving them minimum wage would be a drop in the bucket, then it’d be legal slavery like everywhere else in the world
You will see them in qatar
Amazing that NATO ally Poland is tolerating this. Outstanding documentary. Thank you.
