North Korea: Desperate or Deceptive

The document is powerful in its theme - North Korea has the most bizarre political system and the highest degree of repression after the fall of the Taliban. The creators have gone quite far considering the circumstances, and some shots and motifs are interesting. There is also a high level of objectivity in the American documentary - for example, in the case of the nuclear program, they break the usual clichés and let the voice of an independent expert be heard, questioning the actions of the American government. Overall impression 70%. (06/25/2008)
