Fenriz Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 A very cool and funny documentary of an American touring the Democratic Peoples Republic of North Korea. This documentary is in 14 parts. Check out the really cute North Korean "tea girl" in Part Five. The Vice Guide to North Korea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

softwareNerd Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 For anyone interested in North Korea, economist Alex Tabarrok recommends "Nothing to Envy". The snippets from his post on this are interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 It's a really informative documentary, and absolutely heart-breaking. I hadn't seen this previously. Truly, absolutely heart-breaking. A society, people, shaped by fear, by constant fear, every breath taken in fear that someone else may take offense and one's life may be over in an instant. Truly horrible and unforgivable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 (edited) Just saw this article, "U.S. pledges flood aid to North Korea" (CNN August 19, 2011), mentioned on The Objective Standard Blog. From OSB: "The only “aid” the U.S government should give North Korea is moral support to those who seek to overthrow Kim Jong il and his communist regime." I agree. We will be, have been, helping to keep that "tea girl" enslaved. There is shame in that. Ideas set the course; wealth fuels the beast.
