Welcome to North Korea
In the wake of the ME uprisings, Jaehee repeatedly expressed hope that the fervor would somehow spread to the people North Korea. I pulled up this documentary in order better to understand the dynamics of their political climate.
This documentary was filmed in 2001 by the Dutch film maker Peter Tetteroo. It is very melancholy. I can't get my mind around the notion that the lives of an entire nation could be so clandestine as to elude our understanding to such a degree. It is so enigmatic that I struggle to commiserate with the people--as if they only exist in theory and not actuality.
