Life in North Korea still holds many secrets. How do people live in this country that is cut off from the rest of the world? We take you on a fascinating tour de force through gyms, riding clubs, water parks, schools, and sports academies. With first-hand experiences and non-staged scenes of everyday life, this documentary shows that sport really is a uniting force and paints a picture of North Korea beyond common clichés.

    A fish that grew in an aquarium does not understand the sea.

    The trouble with being brainwashed, is you don't know you're brainwashed!

    I used to work for a Korean company. My boss was a son of a North Korean. He would tell us horror stories of how his father escaped North Korea.

    Wow! Orwell's 1984 alive and right in your face.😮

    It's like living in one enormous penitentiary, complete with first-class sections, second-class sections, and lower-class sections, with everybody saying and doing whatever it takes to move up the ladder.
  • The assistant principal who speaks English, she’s throwing out massive signs that she wants to escape and be free from the regime, I can feel it in her soul. Poor lady 😢

    I was born in the Soviet Union, so I remember pretty well all these settings. There's huge gap between the well-off political elites and ordinary people.

    Their obsession with America is at first rather comical...but then tragic. I think the ordinary citizen of Pyonyang would be stunned to find out how infrequently we even think about them, much less plot against them. I hope someday these people - especially the very poor and hungry ones - can have peace in their hearts and delicious food in their bellies.🌷🌸🌷
  • I’m American and watching this makes me even more grateful that I was born here - not to say America doesn’t have any problems. It’s so random how we are born to certain parents and certain countries.

    South Korea and North Korea are completely opposite as hell it's crazy man

    I wish you showed the night sky. I always wondered what it looked like since from the satellite map it looks like they have zero light pollution.

    It's a million times worse than anything we will ever see or know! It's horrific on a level we cannot comprehend!

    Everything is staged. The grocery store they showed was probably filled with items before filming and people were instructed to "shop" there at a specific time. The people "seeing the sites" were pulled from their daily lives to be at those locations. The motivational brigade most likely were forced to rehearse in preparation of the filming. It's way worse than we think. Mind boggling that the rest of the world just allows this to go on.
