16.37. I'm really saddened by what North Koreans go through. But that regime will fall no matter how long it takes and that will be through a revolution.
@@suhailbhat1996 do you live in a poor African american neighborhood? If you dont then you dont know how it works. Yes there a lot of good kids and guys out there but they get laughed at for being nerds and eventually give un to the social pressure to adapt or remain a target. Most areas have community colleges and there is a social welfare system it is possible for everyone to make it out of poverty and into the middle class but getting to the rich class is hard almost impossible if your from a poverty stricken area
Agreed. I grew up in China during the 80s and our buildings looked exactly the same. The same design, colour scheme, layout etc. I think it might be due to China and North Korea copying the Soviet Union which was seen as the leader of the whole Communist movement. Even the style of military uniform look similar.
There’s just over 25 million people in North Korea but if you spend time there you’ll only see about 50 People a day and most of them are tourists or journalists :/ people are smuggling dvds and we’re paying people in wagon wheels because they were that desperate for some treats for their children it’s absolutely heartbreaking 😔
Illegal Comment 1. I'm not American. 2. Learn some manners. 3. We will all die. 4. Don't leave comments when you are drunk or otherwise impaired, it only makes you look stupid.
It's very good that Al Jazeera took the time talking to Dr. Lankov. I think he is one of the most qualified people on the planet to judge the state DPRK is in. I'd love to study under him.
Which country, the DPRK (N.Korea) or the USA is really deserving of the title, "The World's Most Secretive State"? I think the USA is by far the winner of that distinction. We lose wars that we are told for years we are winning by our Presidents and our generals - as in Iraq and in Afghanistan. Farther back, we had to learn from the "Pentagon Papers", classified documents, that we were losing the Vietnam war after 58,000 US lives lost and millions of Asians murdered by our war to "make them free". We were told that Saddam definitely had weapons of mass destruction, but it turned out that between Saddam and us, only the USA had (and has) them. Our NSA listens to our telephone conversations. The USA calls people who report the crimes its armed forces and agencies commit "spies" and prosecutes them under a 1918 law meant for German agents. The US Army prosecuted Bradley Manning for revealing murder of civilians by soldiers in Iraq. The USA is trying to extradite an Australian for revealing our war crimes. The USA is trying to get hold of Edward Snowden for revealing the violations of the Constitution by the NSA. This is just a partial account. I think the DPRK has a long way to go to catch up to the USA's secrecy.
Good comment. In researching African American history,I was struck by the similarities in narrative between escaping slaves and defecting N Koreans. The similarity between public executions and public lynchings. The differences are equally stark..runaway slaves simply ran to where oppression seemed less.Rebellious slaves triggered reprisal killings etc. Generally this parallel is laughed off as the 'land of the free' is way more 'free' than North Korea,right? But the traumas induced by their parallels further distorts this narrative..George Orwell was right to base his dystopia in the West,where nobody ever feels it could ever come to pass. Much as I'd love for North Koreans to be free of their oppression, I'd love even more for Western complacency to be fatally undermined.
That’s EXACTLY what I’ve been saying.What makes them think that a starving military can win a war against a superpower.They’re not even going to have enough energy to push the button.They’ll die on their own.🤦🏽♂️
I disagree with you on this. Why don't they visit the US and document the killing of black people by the police or the authoritarian rule of Saudi Arabia? Why not ask the US Govt why they have invaded countries that never provoked them or why they engaged openly in regime change and are still proud of it?
Doodool Tallah because Saudi aren't that bad and if they were, then the people would complain. the Saudi people and women are very happy with there way of life and the government doesn't kill them just because of there thoughts about government.
+LordDavid04 Yes, I noticed that, too. Who is he exactly? He seems to appear a lot on all DPRK shows. My guess is that he makes living by wheeling and dealing with the foreign press in the DPRK. Someone should do a documentary about him.

Pierce Parker He's gotta be a sympathizer for a failed NK Communist cause. Given that he's already exposed to the outside world, they must use him as a "puppet" in their propaganda machine with Western media.
The North Korean propaganda agency says to the starving North Korean people: "Un ra ka, Ka ra ka, un xi ra, Kim chi mochi Kim Jong Un" What does it's mean? it's mean" Back up the supreme leader Kim Jong Un, Feed him, make him fatter!". I am feeling hard and funny to believe that!
What happens if we sent one these reporters to the projects in the US? How about filming Flint Michigan, homeless tent cities in San Diego and Oakland California, crime infested, poor poor parts of Detroit and Chicago? I am not saying NK is great, all I am saying is that if you want to present bad stuff, you can do that anywhere. At least they have an excuse of 60 years of economic sanctions. What is our excuse as a richest country on earth where quarter of kids go to bed Hungry every night?
We have a possibility through social projects to bring jobs to Detroit and Chicago again. The US survived the great depression so we can fix the poverty in poor Urban Areas. *We must better educate the Urban poor on how to get jobs in this economy by funding impoverished public schools more money and giving free scholarships to Historically Black Colleges. Maybe even start an Affirmative Action program where companies legally have to hire a certain number of inner city people. If not provide tax incentives to bringing jobs into poor Urban Areas.* In US we are not killed for saying things against government. True their may be social consequences on the Job and social media slander on you but the Government can not respond to speech not related terrorist attacks when dealing with free speech.
I am really liking Al Jazeera and their seemingly unbiased news stories. They are much like Reuters, but even more willing to dig deep into issues. 7:05 - I find it funny the Korean woman says this about the US. If she only knew about the true reality of the situation (which of course is impossible in the North), she would know it's the complete opposite. It's North Korea who is constantly provoking and threatening the outside. North Korea (and KJU) would not attack, because KJU knows that they would lose quickly. The North may get in some destruction in the South and Japan before the UN forces would be able to retaliate, but they would surely lose, and KJU knows that very well. Also, earlier (around 5:10) when the crew is at the JSA/DMZ, the North Korean man says "South Korean puppets" when pointing to the South Korean soldiers. Personally, I think the South Korean soldiers look badass with their helmets, tinted glasses, and uniforms, all facing the North with their hands in fists. The North's soldiers are required to face each other and towards the North to make sure North Korean soldiers and citizens aren't defecting to the South. Not too threatening. If the South is a puppet of the United States or UN (because it's UN forces), then North Korea would have been considered a puppet of the Soviet Union. Unfortunately, the Soviet Union has collapsed, and with it, one of the North's biggest supporters.
There are so many satellites, why don't US just records what's going down there ? I can see my house on Google maps and also cars, buses (bit blurry). I can do this from my home, US will be having lot clear view of the surface. I don't know what's the problem here.
nadech4ever its $$ you should know by now. US is well ahead of N.K. in technology. US knows every thing that happens in NK. I smell dead rotten fish here.
North Koreans seem so content with there way of life. I mean like every country you would have some people who wouldn't like his or her government. But the nuclear threat is a cause for concern.
My father used to say there's two sides to any question. If journalists presented both sides and the reasons people have behind their actions you get a clearer picture in any situation.
the cruelest thing America could do to North Korea is to simply ignore them. This is South Korea's duty to address, and anything they decide is fine with me.
David Curran you do know that people in North America are dying. People has to right live, if we just sit back and pretend they don't exist is cruel. It's like a rich men not donating.
Because if we do, if we remove our troops from South Korea and don't stand up to North Korea's nuclear blackmail (and progress), the DPRK will invade South Korea. Yes, they want reunification, but not under a free democratic regime, only under communist dictatorship. In other words they want South Korea (henc the whole peninsula) to be Communist. That's why they invaded South Korea in 1950. And they would love to do it again.
They have these apartments for show and funnily you always see some Disney stuff and everything one would need...and crying for the leader??? wtf- just like some religious fundies, extreme to the core!
I'm probably tired of forcing people to believe in those totally ridiculous statues, and paying to believe in them, for the very reason I never visit North Korea.
Kim Jong Un shares his birthday with Elvis Presley. They are both Capricorn, they both have the moon in Pisces and they both have their thinking planet Mercury in Capricorn as well. Kim was born during the water pig, Elvis during the wood dog. Elvis was well known for his generosity, this trait Kim seems to lack,. 100 cars all to himself, and only government officials are allowed to own a car. Elvis used to love giving his friends Cadillacs. We have a King and we have the emperor with his new clothes.
yes. everyone one talk about them. thatz why no 1. and whenever i bored, i watch northkorean adventures stories. without that country we would not have to watch any crazy stuff. bt i feel so bad for that people.
Many things the documentary says are true, but it only presents one aspect of the DPRK. It's slanted. It mainly focuses on the less than one percent of the population that was in prison. Would you trust a documentary that only interviewed people who were held down and abused by prison guards in the US, which has a higher incarceration rate, and then gave up their US citizenship? Would you trust a video that only interviewed those people and ignored the other 99% of the US population? That's what this documentary does. Really shameful. I'd balance what this video says with reports of people who have actually lived there and worked for years throughout the country and countryside. Google Felix Abt, for example. Think for yourself, don't just follow what one media source with a pre-set editorial theme which they gather all information around. Btw, I'm writing this under another post because I've been "ghost banned" by Google from making my own independent posts because of the content of what I've posted. Just Google "ghost banning UA-cam" for more information on this if you're curious about how information is being monitored.
North Korea Vagabond To really be able to see that it is a good country, North Korea would have to let the people leave if they want to. If not too many people leave then we would be convinced. It's very easy to prove.
iFrostxHD It is the best country in the world with keeping concentrations camps and doing genocide on their own people. Here you see how stupid we are as people, we allowed this in 2015...
6:40 OMG..she is speaking the exact opposite of what she is thinking .thats why she is crying...even the guy understand why she is crying and thats why he is crying as well,,,oppression, but she has to say exactly the opposite of what she really feels otherwise they kill her!! this is sad
What they SAY, and what they THINK, are totally different. If they were as brainwashed as the North Korean Government would have us BELIEVE, nobody would EVER defect! There's much more going on there than meets the eye!
There are limits to how long you can keep people in a war ready frenzy. The Japanese were only able to do this for one generation. N. Korea can make no serious move on S. Korea or anyone else unless China wants them to do so.
Its a good watch however I have one gripe she literally asks such a stupid question he's left his country they changed his voice and blurred his face yet she asks do you feel like you're in danger? Talk about stating the obvious
Meaning the difference between country side and the capital is a bit comparable in both country. I spend a lot of my weekend and vacation in sout-korean country side, felt like 3o or 4o years ago in the past, if not way further.
I wonder why there were no words about Alessandro in there. That guy looks nuttier and more unstable in every documentary he is in and he's an essential part of their campaigns.
If only the people of any country knew their truth strength, as they give the "leader" power and make them believe that they are powerful. Without followers, the leader has little power. I question what is the reason that most companies do not create more dependable secret recording devices specifically for situations like this, as spy glasses or a small device that can be hidden on clothing can help document important events steathly.
I too don't have freedom in USA, as being Muslim when I eat only Halal food I can't often go to lunch with others, that's the fair game to remove me from my Jobs, I needed to change many Jobs just because of that. What should I say? Many Muslims don't say that they are Muslims in fear of alienation and discrimination at Work? What should we do?
AbdulAleem Mohammad don't compare you facing discrimination from some people in America to what North Korean people are going through, you should thank your lucky stars you 'don't have freedom in America'.
Madam, after Iraq war every country is watching US, remember this, neither the people nor the countries are fully supporting US. I can surely say, US attacks only those countries which are very weak and can't protect themselves. And the Security Council is used by those 5 countries to do everything in their favor not for anything for the cause of the World and poor. I can definitely say God bless North Korea specially their people who are suffering because of US and powerful countries sanctions. If US wants to punish their leaders, what's the mistake done by just born babies who are effected by the sanctions? I wish best for their babies who didn't do any mistake but getting punishment.
why did you choose America to live, if you were born in the USA your parents migrated there. Adopt the customs of the country you moved to. If you still want to eat only Halal food, give up your American life and move to some arab state or maybe Pakistan. You will feel more at home there.. The biggest issue with muslims is that they wear their identity on themselves all the time telling the world that they are different and going to remain that way. If your religion is not going to evolve you are living in a conflict with the future and present forever.
Does anyone know how the guy from Spain this video showed with North Korean party members got involved with the dprk? I've seen him in other videos . I've wondered his story .
This is a 2015 documentary which am watching now/2021, the best thing is that every documentary year after year are basically the same, life there is unchanged, that's one of the best indicator of the tight grip the despot "Ill" has on the reins.

Kim Jong Un shares his birthday with Elvis Presley. They are both Capricorn, they both have the moon in Pisces and they both have their thinking planet Mercury in Capricorn as well. Kim was born during the water pig, Elvis during the wood dog. Elvis was well known for his generosity, this trait Kim seems to lack,. 100 cars all to himself, and only government officials are allowed to own a car. Elvis used to love giving his friends Cadillacs. We have a King and we have the emperor with his new clothes.
“ kim jong un looks funny and is over weight but he’s smart” 😂😂🙈
Smart??? By whose standards, the N. Koreans??
Highly controlled press tour means they put on a facade and showed you only what they wanted you to see.
1:50 the flag on his head 😅
great information. thank you.
north korea no 1 best country in the world lol
yes. everyone one talk about them. thatz why no 1. and whenever i bored, i watch northkorean adventures stories. without that country we would not have to watch any crazy stuff. bt i feel so bad for that people.
Many things the documentary says are true, but it only presents one aspect of the DPRK. It's slanted. It mainly focuses on the less than one percent of the population that was in prison. Would you trust a documentary that only interviewed people who were held down and abused by prison guards in the US, which has a higher incarceration rate, and then gave up their US citizenship? Would you trust a video that only interviewed those people and ignored the other 99% of the US population? That's what this documentary does. Really shameful.
I'd balance what this video says with reports of people who have actually lived there and worked for years throughout the country and countryside. Google Felix Abt, for example.
Think for yourself, don't just follow what one media source with a pre-set editorial theme which they gather all information around.
Btw, I'm writing this under another post because I've been "ghost banned" by Google from making my own independent posts because of the content of what I've posted. Just Google "ghost banning UA-cam" for more information on this if you're curious about how information is being monitored.
North Korea Vagabond To really be able to see that it is a good country, North Korea would have to let the people leave if they want to. If not too many people leave then we would be convinced. It's very easy to prove.
North Korea best Korea! lol
iFrostxHD It is the best country in the world with keeping concentrations camps and doing genocide on their own people. Here you see how stupid we are as people, we allowed this in 2015...
I agree with one of these soldiers, they would only denuclearise if America denuclearise.
Are you serious? North Korea would never give up their nuclear weapons by choice even if America gave up theirs!
how is this different from qatar
6:40 OMG..she is speaking the exact opposite of what she is thinking .thats why she is crying...even the guy understand why she is crying and thats why he is crying as well,,,oppression, but she has to say exactly the opposite of what she really feels otherwise they kill her!! this is sad
"when their nukes disappear, so will ours"
more like
"discard ur nukes first so we have the upper hand huehuehue"
Kim gone wong is a bellsmack.
Ashlee Egge-Daborn USA is the biggest spreader of nukes in the world.
Ashlee Egge-Daborn Kim fon wrong 😂😂😂
David Smith USA obsessed with itself.
I would love to go there for a few months... I am too overweight.
this place is similar to the old DDR
WTF? They don't want the US but they have a Mickey Mouse clock on the wall! LOL!
Awful country. Teresa Bo is an amazing journalist by the way. :3
So basically N Korea is a literal Hunger Games scenario minus the "games" part.
I've wondered about that. Maybe they do have games like that, or similar.
@@metalmusic4958 I wouldn't put it past them.......but it's sad that everyone in the capital benefits off the rest of the country.
That chick said North Korea would destroy America in war bruh 😂😂😂
What they SAY, and what they THINK, are totally different. If they were as brainwashed as the North Korean Government would have us BELIEVE, nobody would EVER defect! There's much more going on there than meets the eye!
Without the American People's support there would be NO WAR with North Korea.🤨
it's been 70 years since the USA was on the winning side of any war
I have so much tried to reserve this comment but... you are one pretty reporter!
Silent cooperative and coup from within.
There are limits to how long you can keep people in a war ready frenzy. The Japanese were only able to do this for one generation. N. Korea can make no serious move on S. Korea or anyone else unless China wants them to do so.
access in north Korea is not rare it's just unimaginably controlled
19:44 Piers Morgan trying to find out what's going on in the DPRK
Its a good watch however I have one gripe she literally asks such a stupid question he's left his country they changed his voice and blurred his face yet she asks do you feel like you're in danger? Talk about stating the obvious
I like how she says he was "elected" 😂
shes so beautiful... people r gonna trust her... no doubt!..... m2 :|
To be totally fair, the difference between Seoul and the country side in South Korea is quite very similar, you'd be surprised.
Not quite following your point here. Seoul is in South Korea. Can you clarify for me please?
Meaning the difference between country side and the capital is a bit comparable in both country.
I spend a lot of my weekend and vacation in sout-korean country side, felt like 3o or 4o years ago in the past, if not way further.
Man these people are so brainwashed!
`must be democratic
Roy Smith you obviously know nothing whatsoever about true Democracy.
I wonder why there were no words about Alessandro in there. That guy looks nuttier and more unstable in every documentary he is in and he's an essential part of their campaigns.
she is beautiful
kedar veerkar who?? I don't see one
If only the people of any country knew their truth strength, as they give the "leader" power and make them believe that they are powerful. Without followers, the leader has little power. I question what is the reason that most companies do not create more dependable secret recording devices specifically for situations like this, as spy glasses or a small device that can be hidden on clothing can help document important events steathly.
wow this north korea section sounds so peaceful and hatred-free.
but, whenever its about China, oh baby the hate from everywhere in the world is REAL
China is a very real threat, both financially and military. It could explain the difference i' treatment..
i just added kim jun un to face book
Happy New Year 2020 North Korea 🤗
I think we need to have a discussion. 😐
👽🛸
Bring it on
@ 4:07 a false god
They're all false gods.
Tough life indeed ??!So much questions in my head
Who is the reporter. I want to marry her.
He says that North Korea's leader is fat when was last time he looked in the mirror ( 1:15 )
finding random actors and telling stories doesn't make them true
God before they interview anyone, they actually make sure their true story and life is valid before reporting.
6:41 I feel very sorry for her
I too don't have freedom in USA, as being Muslim when I eat only Halal food I can't often go to lunch with others, that's the fair game to remove me from my Jobs, I needed to change many Jobs just because of that. What should I say? Many Muslims don't say that they are Muslims in fear of alienation and discrimination at Work? What should we do?
AbdulAleem Mohammad don't compare you facing discrimination from some people in America to what North Korean people are going through, you should thank your lucky stars you 'don't have freedom in America'.
Madam, after Iraq war every country is watching US, remember this, neither the people nor the countries are fully supporting US. I can surely say, US attacks only those countries which are very weak and can't protect themselves. And the Security Council is used by those 5 countries to do everything in their favor not for anything for the cause of the World and poor. I can definitely say God bless North Korea specially their people who are suffering because of US and powerful countries sanctions.
If US wants to punish their leaders, what's the mistake done by just born babies who are effected by the sanctions? I wish best for their babies who didn't do any mistake but getting punishment.
why did you choose America to live, if you were born in the USA your parents migrated there. Adopt the customs of the country you moved to. If you still want to eat only Halal food, give up your American life and move to some arab state or maybe Pakistan. You will feel more at home there.. The biggest issue with muslims is that they wear their identity on themselves all the time telling the world that they are different and going to remain that way. If your religion is not going to evolve you are living in a conflict with the future and present forever.
I think you got answer from another man here from relaxingprawn, did you see him saying why did I come to US because I am different.
Fake news
Does anyone know how the guy from Spain this video showed with North Korean party members got involved with the dprk? I've seen him in other videos . I've wondered his story .
every documentary is a propaganda, does any human on earth can make a unbiased research
This is a 2015 documentary which am watching now/2021, the best thing is that every documentary year after year are basically the same, life there is unchanged, that's one of the best indicator of the tight grip the despot "Ill" has on the reins.
Awesome journalist.
5:30
Look at how unrealistic that colonel is 😂 other countries giving up existing weapons before you stop actively making yours 😂
Each nation relinquishing its nuclear weapons programme experiences regime change.
@@andersonarmstrong2650 if they would just stop MAKING THEM. maybe they could reach a compromise there.
