- It's the world's most closed country, over the last few decades, very few foreigners and even fewer journalists have gained access to North Korea.
TRT World’s Imran Garda was invited to visit the so-called hermit kingdom to take part in the Pyongyang marathon and be shown the city's tourist sites. It's a country known for its ballistic missile tests, its nuclear capabilities and a well trodden path of sabre rattling. But it's also a country governed by the Juche ideal of self reliance and a country with enormous national pride. A country of paradoxes, this is ‘The Newsmakers in North Korea.’

You can never have enough N.K documentaries.
martin nettey RT Uploaded a new documentary on N. Korea a few days ago.
I agree.Ive watched about 7 the last 2 days
As someone who's been there I agree
Hahahaha agreed !
agree - I'm hooked
The quality on the video was some of the best I've seen come out of North Korea. Thanks.
I agree
Kyra Murray 9
Kyra Murray what do you mean lol what Syrian news ???
Just what i was thinking as well when i saw this video.
He's impressed by the sovjet style subway station but then this stone age berlin subway train rolls in.... no comment on this :D
btw great documentary and awesome quality! one of the best I've seen so far
you know they hear you on the hotel right?
exactly wired
oops.
Bandy Santana That's Why he Probably is dead.
john Grijalba its obviously bugged
I am wondering, do the guides have to run the marathon with you?
It's because their all slaves to a regime and there's no room for progress or advancement for the pp who work harder than others. Why don't you talk about the 500 hundred thousand plus pp in concentration camps. All these pp are brainwashed in to thinking the same from day one their birth. Don't make stupid comments about something you know nothing about.
+but2star Religion has nothing to do with it and it's completely pointless in your whole comment. In most other countries people are free to be, to do and to own. That of course creates competition and will lead to SOME crime. But it also leads to progress. In North Korea EVERYONE is a victim of the crime at all times, the crime of being completely controlled, doing just what they're told to do. Freedom with a possibility of some crimes is still much better than being in a completely controlled environment, where you're controlled as well.
They may have less murders committed by one citizen over another, but the amount of people government tortures and kills more than compensates for it and testimonies from those lucky one who managed to escape the country will give you the best picture of what it's like beyond the stage set for journalists.
but2star While I am not sure how is your comment relevant to mine, what are the sources to your information?
+but2star In most countries religion and government are separate things. Religious rules are not the law and religion can't punish people with their ancient punishment techniques. Few places where that can happen are a few islamic countries where religion is law and sharia law is practiced. But even there people have more freedom than people in NK, and with freedom of will comes a lot of stuff, some crime included.
The point is that in NK you basically have no, or very little free will to choose as an ordinary citizen. You must work and praise the leading dynasty as gods. So it's actually a more extreme religious country than even most/all religious countries.
but2star lol... coz it is not relevant, it was considered as spam... I am not interested in flame wars + unlike you, I have a real life that makes me too busy to deal with trolls so for real this time byebye
the best video I had ever seen about north korea, good job!
This was very well done. It was like a much mroe professional version of the vice documentary. Which btw if you haven't seen that one it's a must watch!
Except for the fact that this video totally ignores the crimes and horrors happening in North Korea.
+vidaett first look at ones own backyard before commenting on others
Robert Which backyard would that be? Norway?
No you're right. There's some real horrible stuff that goes on there. All you have to do is watch some videos about N Korean escapees. But the video quality was still good.
I bet Kim reads through the comments section of you tube on all N.K. Videos on his smart phone..
This got to be the best video i have ever seen about North Korea.
Did he not know that the hotel room is probably bugged though? Saying those things could get him into some shit.
as if you didn't think your room wasn't bugged
+Michael Williams There is a reason North Korea doesnt have American spies
(21:34) "I decided to do my bit for international relations with some HiGH FiVE diplomacy"
(and a SELFiE STiCK).
this is insane
well done mate.good one
one of the best videos about north korea i have ever seen good work.
Did you see any subway stations other than the one they wanted you to see?
gmc9753 There's only one, you see it in all the videos of NK. The train just runs up and down for tourists and it's full of actors. The whole thing is a sham.
Well, not really. That it has just two stations is a conspiracy theory. The metro there has two lines and heavily patronised, because that's the cheapest transportation option there.
no,u cant go anywhere without permision
One's expected to attain a permit in order to travel outside of the CITY. The subway line is merely transports citizens throughout the city. Thus, citizens are capable of boarding the train considering that it is the most inexpensive and efficient method towards traveling throughout the city.
yall brainwashed by western propoganda
It's all a mirage, smokescreen extraordinaire which you have fallen for
Good stuff. Subscribed.
Well done and well shot documentary, big applause to the reporter and camera man. same feeling i have more questions than ever about North Korea.
too naive.They have detectaphone in all the hotel rooms for foreigners, what you've said there they basically have people kept the record, seriously. My friends were caught trying to escape the hotel in Pyongyang in the evening at the entrance without saying anything when people were nearby, they are Chinese or people look very close to North Korean people. You know what I mean.
hanbo liu o
What camera was used to film this? Awesome looking video
Democratic? Peoples? Republic? Really?
Seniors Tube best jokes ever
I really enjoyed this.
Even in HD, the people and overall vibe is like on the 70s.
I would like to know what happens if you just win the marathon. Especially if you would beat the supreme leaders laptime?
in Democratic People's Republic of Korea, supreme leaders laptime beats You.
u get reward
As he pushed around in a wheelbarrow
Deadsentence
death
Enjoyed that ty
What's the name of the background music From 9:00 until 10:00?
This viedo is epic
Very nice documentary! Love to see the reporter actually standing in the DPRK. I partially succeeded in this during my trip there.
Apparently in the afternoon... lmao
People act like it's so hard to get into the DPRK yet tens of thousands of tourists go there through tours every year.
It IS hard to get in and its near impossible to get OUT the tourists that get in just get treated with the real life Truman Show and THEY are Truman yet the propaganda still manages to work on a bunch of moronic westerners.
Tell me you are getting paid by the DPRK without actually telling me. 😂🤦♀️
When Commander Bucher of the USS Pueblo read the official apology on DPRK radio, the DPRK authorities found his bad pronunciation of "Wepaean DPRK, wepaean Kim Il Sung" (We apologize to DPRK, we apologize to Kim Il Sung") rather amusing, as it came out sounding like "We pee on DPRK, we pee on Kim Il Sung".
If they only knew... :-D
Wooohoo, actual new content.. even if "new" is always basically the same tour you always get new glimpses of reality there. A surreal place unlike any place in the world and I envy the hell out of anyone who gets a chance to see it first hand.
thanks imran garda and TRT World
Very interesting, thank you
Pride comes before Fall you watch, you will Fall very Soon than later.
This was a good documentary
Hahahaha... love the over-dramatic music during the running scene. :-D
what is the song 1:59 ?
George Orwell's 1984 :D
The description of the Juche ideology at 11:40 made me feel horribly tense.
What an unbelievably arrogant approach to life.
thank you for your video
Awesome TRT keep up nice work
I love the frase High-Five Diplomacy. I am completely stealing it.
Great conclusion at the end! Overall really good.
Is called the hermit kingdom for a reason.
there is one london underground station which is like a station in pyongyang and that is gants hill
17:05 yoooo what is this song??? Lol
Thats very good documentary. But we need to Turkish subtitle too.
Great video - what's the song called at 9:15 ?
+Proxinem Pansume
Darude sandstorm
High-five diplomacy. Awesome!
i wonder what kind of life people living outside capital pyongyang. only one city in this country.
05:42 How on Earth were you allowed to have your back towards the Kims? I am absolutely bewildered, because I'm pretty sure having your back towards them is considered a great insult worthy of immediate expulsion from the country...
+KaleunMaender77 He bowed as is required, after that he was reporting and it's perfectly fine (as seen in many documentaries) to stand like that and talk. They probably want that as in that position we see the giant statues in the background of the person speaking.
+Kafanska TV thanks for imparting your knowledge upon me. I was sincerely unaware of this. Thanks :)
I've seen docs in the past where the minders are also insistent that the statues must be filmed in whole from head to toe. The minders are all bark with little bite.
The DPRK is always letting in film crews and they know the doc will be edited into a negative light once outside of NK, but they need the exposure even if it's negative exposure so as to lure in more tourists for the hard currency that fuels the lifestyles of the their elite.
Too bad North Korea doesn’t allow stuff like Harry Potter, MCU, Netflix, BTS, or anything else like that
Open to tourists? No it should go down in the history books as the BIGGEST living creation of the Truman show
I am very interested to visit, I hope!
Thanks for sharing!
19:09 - you can learn some basics with lots of practice, but if you don't have it in you, it's like mechanically learning to play basic piano from sheet music. Most reporters are like that ;-)
I will go there this summer, yay!
10:10 Tongue-in-cheek, 'They'll be coming in the afternoon'. Lol!
North Korea would be a great place if they just would put the people first and end the labor death camps. If they just followed Human rights laws then maybe we won’t hate them as much
Andrew America has a higher percentage of people in prison. We also have more police brutality on camera. We have prison labor. We have the death penalty. Flint water is still poisoned with lead and we make them pay for it. There are areas of cities most people avoid and consider high risk. 3.5 million homeless. Millions with no health care. We hate them because we suffer from our own propaganda, not necessarily what we do say but the parts we leave out. Take a good hard look at our own country before hating on others.
Human right is set up by world powers to take advantage of the week either way both the north Korean and human rights are same but operate different way
Traffic controllers with no traffic.
Juche - total self-reliance = total dependence on China. Nice work, NK.
There's one claim N. Korea will never make - That *Kim Jong-Un won the marathon...*
I really love them men good job nortkoria is really good my good keep them up ameen
What
making them bow makes me feel sick. another religon. just what we needed.
ahhhh, i get it 2016 AD! for a second i was confused what era this video took place in
me too I thought it was bc
nice job Imran Garda
RIP
So nice video
The quality of the video was amazing but I could not get through ten minutes with the haughtiest-sounding narration I perhaps have ever heard in any documentary
I wish to understand what they use the subway for. Where are they going? What types of jobs do they have? Do they get paid well?
Do you know what communism is?
+jo kerh Forgive me but I dont know what communism is. Can you tell me please.
+David Guevara the subway is only for looks, everything north korea does is just so they look like they can maintain themselves. google communism its awful
You can bet your life there are no train services to South Korea.
the may day stadium is not new, it was built in the 1980's and was given a big refurbishment in 2014.
Goodness when the other tourist bursted out “amen”. I felt a sudden fear for his life.
12:33 SONG NAME?😭
Clean ,beautiful and very nicely decorated
Self reliance. Hah.. Right...
I wasn't aware of the north korean regime until i watched the fat kids movie on the big screen..
Of course the record of marksmanship was set by Kim Jong Un, Kim Il Song or Kim Jong Il. Who else?
I saw tons of documentary about North Korea and this one is certainly one of the most beautiful, A report with this little touch of hope the world need to see for the North Korean people.
How did they let you take footage of the statues where they were cut?
Will a foreign tourist be punished for refusing to visit the statues, because s/he refuses to bow (to pay homage) to the statues? And, what kind of punishment will s/he receive?
Dr No I wondered about that too. I bow to no one.
Does the record of the marathon also belong to Kim Jong Un?
Nome Inventado yes 26 minutes flat. Faster than Tom Cruise...
He's in awe of a tube station with a single track and a clapped out second-hand train. How gullible can you get?
Very good
Fun fact - Kim has not nor will he ever feel the need for a bowel movement..... What a life.
1:54 this sounds like a 90s anime opening
This Imran Garda is an easily led fellow. While he acknowledges that there are huge restrictions on what he can film, i.e. state controlled censorship which therefore should be an anathema to him as he's a journalist, he simultaneously seems to buy into the transparent propaganda that North Korea feed anyone who visits their country. For example, he freely calls the US the "aggressors", though of course it was North Korea itself which began the Korean War of the early 1950's. He then gets a secretive tour of the large and (apparently - we don't get to see inside) impressive science facility though he never questions why there are no students in there, only to add that "they come in the afternoon". Why only in the afternoon? If this building is so incredible and so advanced (and big), wouldn't the schools be sending their students there time and time again regardless of whether it was morning or afternoon? But no, Imran happily and submissively accepts the restrictions, the lies, and the propaganda and comes away all starry-eyed as if he really does believe that the Kim rulers are godlike beings.
22:18 somewhere from germany, wearing a Dynamo Dresden pant. hahahaha
Someone who knows the song 1:45? haha
Did you find ut what song it is?
In just the first 1:39 seconds this video already starts out like so many other video's shot by outsiders. He states that reporters are normally not allowed, and that there are strict guidelines to follow. So in reality no matter how you dress up a video about the DPRK and namely Pyongyang you are really not going to see, or hear anything different. The DPRK always states that they want to open up to tourism but at what price to the tourist? North Korea needs foreign currency desperately because their money is basically worthless. The want the Chinese money, the USA money, any currency other then their own. In reality the only reason most people visit North Korea today is because it is like the accident on the freeway, you just need to slow down and see the brutality of it all, and NK is exactly the same. If NK wants to bring in tourism more then stop with the minders, stop oppressing your own people, let your people leave if they want, travel where they want, and be able to choose their own leaders, until then NK will stagnate even more.
In case someone actually believes that all the N. Korean metro stations are like this, there is a reason tourists are only allowed to see 2 or 3 stations.
como le hiciste para poder grabar,eso esta penado alla
Translation: How did you do it to be able to record, that is punished there
Dude you moved your weapon too much, that why you didn’t get any good shots.
Great documentary with a positive end !
22:13 the girl looking in the other direction looks like Kim Song I's little sister
How I wish this nation will become a democratic country. Nkoreans should know the world...
The capital city is the only ‘‘OK‘‘ place in North Korea. People are starving in the rest of the country...
I would NEVER visit DPRK while the Kim regime is in power.
The people of North Korea seem very sweet and cordial. They are not the evil people that the media portrays them to be. I am scared and sad for them. They are so isolated and uninformed. They are taught from very early that American's are Imperialists and are the reason for their food shortages and power outages. I pray that everyone will just calm down and not start a nuclear war.
Also a quick fun fact about TRT
TRT is an shortening of Türk Radyo Telekomünikasyon or Turkish Radio Telecommunication.It is based on Turkey and Their objective is obviously news about the world.
