First time I see it. I find it truly creepy. They look programmed like robots, sad and forced to smile or they'll get shot.
It's probably their version of the Hunger Games over there.
Look I'm not gonna defend North Korea but we are basically at a cold war with them so you can't really believe everything you hear. That being I have no idea what it's really like to live a life in North Korea but I'm pretty sure the media's interpretation is at least a bit distorted.
Just think of all the things said about the Soviet Union and more recently Iran just to stir up some fear in the public.
Oh yeah I'm sure it's a fucking paradise being brainwashed into thinking a human being is a God to be worshiped. I'm sure those who risk being shot or electrocuted in the DMZ don't know how good they have it in North Korea.
