There is really nothing new under the sun. I came to China to shoot volunteers rehearsing for the National Day military parade, students in mountainous areas thanking their leaders over and over again, women workers in textile factories in small towns, children reciting the rules of discipleship, and red song contests... No...

The theme-first aphrodisiac soundtrack is actually another operation and performance of the director. I chatted with the audience in Seattle by chance, and found that most Western audiences are in a state of curiosity about North Korea/socialism but do not understand it, so this kind of film showing the desire of "voyeurism" is particularly suitable for taste. . The last shot is very meaningful, Xin Mei's ignorance of "happy" and her uncontrollable tears make it...

1) Obviously everything was pre-arranged and filmed by the Northern Dynasty crew, a real pseudo-documentary; 2) The director was obviously fooled by the Northern Dynasty people to borrow his fame and wanted to make a main theme documentary. Beichao controlled everything. What's even more amazing is that Beichao didn't control the material tape and the final editing. I don't know how the director saved those materials; 3) We hope that we will not repeat it again....

It should be regarded as the most real North Korea record, the kind of empty feeling of the North Korean people makes people feel distressed. . . If you say that North Korea's happiness index is high, please go to North Korea to...

My family has relatives who are real North Koreans last year when they were 75 years old. The last time they came to China, they said that they had eaten tofu ten years ago and had never eaten them since they went back. How to eat the Chinese gave him a lot of food, he was moved to cry, he said that he had never eaten enough, he said that only the elite can live in Pyongyang and there can be no disabled people, etc. There are many wonderful things to...

#EIFF This clip is really super smart and caters to people who grew up with Western education, but it must be another version in North Korea. The film provides a lot of truth and causes a lot of thinking. During the viewing process, I kept flashing back to my childhood. Offering less choice and centralizing power is sometimes a...

Coincidentally, I watched the documentary on Kim Jong-il's birthday, the Festival of Lights. Ingeniously and poignantly, it unmasks North Korea's hypocritical propaganda, revealing the tip of the iceberg of a horrific and terrifying brainwashed rule of allegiance to the Kim dynasty. This pervasive and deep-rooted hatred education and dictatorial methods destroy the body and spirit of every North Korean citizen except the privileged class. Many scenes made people feel chills and shivers down...
