The irony that some of these NK labourers are working for a company that helps fix NATO ships. The fkn irony
You would assume the contracts would of been pulled by now because of this. They don’t because their costs are cheap.
Not as much as an irony compared to Soviet Union getting payment for war reparations from Finland using Marshall Plan's money
I think it's more ironic that part of the money that nato countries spend repairing warships sponsors North korea
@@wouterberings6535 YOU JUST SAID THE EXACT SAME THING AS THE ORIGINAL COMMENT
@@AlanRTelka no, the accent lies on a different part. Not the fact that nk workers repair nato ships but that the money the workers make goes to North Korea. It's not exactly the same.
The way Vice has been in NK so many times and haven't been arrested or killed is still impressive.

How ironic to find a new generation of slave labourers in Poland. Many of the Polish people were only too happy to see fellow citizens enslaved, and worse, from 1939-1945. You would think with this history the Polish state would not be complicit in any further incidents of slavery and human rights abuses.
Perhaps the governments of North Korea and Poland have more in common that they'd like us to think.
This is some true blue dectective and journalism work. I mean, trying to interview a woman but getting information on an associate then cross referencing that with a leaked NK Registry, tracing the address to a small town and asking around only to find a new greenhouse full of North Koreans? Bravo.

Fake news against nk
@@puidgemont3528 How?
Ejnar wasn’t Kim Jong Un dead? 😂
I love how they say “ she rejected to talk to us so we showed up at her office” quality investigative reporting.
As of December of 2019, sanctions have kicked in and Poland reports that all NK workers have been sent home. Thanks in part, I'm sure, to great journalism like this report. Great work!
Those workers were probably all killed or had their status in DPRK lowered. If the DPRK government finds out there were journalists there speaking to workers, they’re all in trouble.
@@SakuraaaHarmony And yes, that is a dark truth. Regardless of whether or not Poland ever employs another of these worker/slaves, they will be used elsewhere. Slavery still exists, but managed by even a more inscrutable master.
The problem is no European was punished. (Modern slavery is slavery and should be punished accordingly)
I think it's better to be a slave in Poland, than to be a slave in North Korea...

But what if IT IS all a lie and our own country is indeed lying to us about North Korea??
:O
This is beyond horrible. People all over the world have really lost their sense of moral correctness. This is a damn disgrace to the EU.
Lost? Shit's been this bad since forever. Especially during the Industrial Revolution. It's just that now we can actually see it for ourselves.
Just like JackgarPrime says, we never really had that moral correctness. People have been exploiting people forever. Colonial imperialism? Industrial revolution, urbanism and all that before there were established labor unions? Before that the whole system of feudalism - class society where you were born into exploitation? The list goes on and on and on. This is true for probably pretty much all nations and societies.
This isn't something new and horrible. This is something old and horrible. Take off your rose coloured glasses, mate.
Good point. All forms of political, social, and economic oppression have always been more frequent and worse in the past. We are improving very slowly as a species, but global media has evolved faster than global law, ethics, and morality. Officially, technology > humanity.
Jumpgate Drifter Agreed.
It's not really that we've lost our moral correctness as much as it is we've gained it. We're evolving our morality and ways of looking at the world, but many factors are hindering that evolution.
Guys come on you should see what happen in Dominican Republic with workers from Haití. Jejenes what makes me sad about this crap is that USA knows about some Kim Jong Un's illegal sources of income and they dont so anything but just to talk about communism and nuclear shit.... Also de ONG knows..... Lets see what the ONU will do for it jajajajaj
"I don't get involved, that's the job of the state."
*You don't get more corporate greedy than that*
But she didn't force anything on them did she? It's how this cruel world works
But she sent Kim Jong Il a fucking sword lol
Aggressive and selfish corporations will be our world's downfall.
"as long as you follow the law working with an inhumane dictatorship could be OK"
Basically every country that outsources to china takes this approach
P77777777 as a Chinese, I second your opinion.
I’m Chinese, can confirm. In the office environment, working 12x5 is normal and Chinese people sometimes don’t have a clear line between break and work. So if your boss call you in the middle of your night and asks you to change something in the presentation, you will have to do it. Labor laws in China can be violated with no consequence.
Ahhh globalism

Is anybody else pissed off and slightly concerned that the polish business woman was so willing to lie for North Korea?
She didint lied for DPRK
She lied for money
Cheap labor that don't need as much insurance and stuff
Absolutely! Whatever the reason for her lying, who knows; but the fact is SHE LIED!!!
let's not act like we would not turn a blind eye for 100K per year.
she's one of the first people i'd kill if i had a death note
Now now, lots of people who grew up in PRL are like this. They just don't care, she probably might even believe that it can't be that bad and on top of that its none of her business and these ppl are simply assets. But soon these ppl will get old and die and hopefully next generation will be less barbaric.
Modern day slavery...
its actual slavery
koolio0900
With a modern twist
there are more slaves today than any time of history
Marcus Chan slavery is quite common just look at africa and asia
Slavery these days have different names. Capitalism,Human trafficking,Debt,Workforce,Imprisonment,etc.
Imagine being that woman and being able to sleep at night.
I imagine I'd sleep in a bed.
Normally. She's just a broker. There is a need, so such lady does such job.
People will do anything for money
As the saying goes, Karma is a bitch! Hopefully one bitch will be visiting the other bitch soon.
Ola you gotta understand the best what does it mean to forced work for nothing in such conditions. Learn your history
THIS, is quality Vice. Excellent investigative journalism.

Documentaries about North Korea are always very interesting to watch. Good job Vice!
Anytime they put something out about North Korea I just have to watch.
I don't think they'll ever top the original video with long-haired Shane, though. My second-favorite DPRK documentary. The first one was british-made and goes even further into the lives of the average citizen. Including sneaking out into the countryside to assist in helping some people escape into South Korea.
+JackgarPrime What's the name of the british made documentary ?
Pandrea Viktor
Unfortunately I haven't been able to remember, because I've wanted to watch it again. If I do recall it, I'll mention it here.
its always scary to see what socialism leads to. The most scary part is that if you look at the history of socialism, this is what happen each time and you still have a large part of the public wanting to try it again all over the world.
Where do you see socialism here? This is PURE capitalism! Greedy businesspeople working with corrupt politicians all over the world. Wealth disparity becoming intolerable. How many people in Poland are out of a job because of this? How many fat cats are getting fatter? Socialism is NOT a dictatorship "selling" slave labor...give me a break!
Those Polish companies facilitating the workers' employment should be taken to court and trialled as criminals for directly supporting the North Korean Regime.
+Robert Skarżyński Mr projector again
tell that to the UN
+Robert Skarz... Are you also on the North Korean payroll?
Yes, convict them of human trafficking/slavery.
Yeah
USA sucks thats why they dont do anything . They know about all kim jong un illegal sources of income but they dont care about humans right or shit.....
I am from Gdynia and once I spoke with one of them. He walked alone to a bus stop close to the shipyard. I shouted to him "An yen ha se yo" what in Korean language means "Hello" or "Good Morning". He answered something I don't know what because that was all, what I was able to say in Korean. We have a short chat /half Polish/half English/ what does he do in the shipyard. I remember his answer after I asked him how does he find Poland. He squinted his narrow eyes, looked around and after few seconds admiring a landscape finally answered that he likes Poland much and that is a beautiful country. What was the weirdest he gave me his cellular phone number. Later on, I texted him and tried to call few times but nobody answer.
Usually, shipyard workers are not so tidy and smart as this one was. On the first glance, he wore nice and clean clothes, was shaved, only his worn hands told that he works physically.
Few times I saw a bigger group of Koreans, also I shouted to them "An yen ha se yo" but when they were in a group and no one answered, only started walking faster to avoid meeting with me.
I'd advice to greet them with the standard North Korean greeting, *안녕하십니까/annyeong hasimnikka* - the polite, formal version of the polite, yet informal *annyeong haseyo,* more used in South Korea.
Nowadays, the North Korean dialect is quite different and more conservative than the South Korean one.
Also - hey, I'm from Gdynia too! ^^
I am from Gdansk (ul. Grunwaldzka which now is called ul. Hallera, that way you know i'm not bluffing). I did not know north Koreans were working in my city (maybe I'm not updated) and am totally ashamed our government is directly complicit in sponsoring a brutal and sadistic regime, but from what I can see most Poles are instead not bothered. This should end now.
@@adamwnt, respect your point but I have high doubts that situation will be changed. What do you think about millions of Ukrainians working in Poland ?
@@user-ph2uq6nt2u I don't know about the general situation of NK workers in Poland, but the examples described are no longer valid since ARMEX is in liquidation know. Though it was a terrible oversight on the Polish part. And I use oversight because no one other than some greedy, sketchy businessman was actually aware of this.
Though I do not know what you mean by asking about Ukrainians since I do not see any correlation. Is Ukraine a dictatorship? Are they forced to work 60h / week? Please elaborate.
@@user-ph2uq6nt2u my point was obviously where the money was going to. When is comes to immigration in general, which is a different point, Poland in comparison to many other nations doesn't have particular issues with unemployment, besides in some though not all cases immigrants would not necessarily do same jobs as Poles, also, although Poland doesn't suffer depopulation as of yet, I don't see the current policies of trying to raise birth rates higher effective if only marginally and for a short time. Also, Ukrainians share similar culture, so I am all in.
It's scary that in my homeland some people are being in some kinds of forced labour, it conjures up images of GULag. It's even more scary when I realised that the tomatoes greenhouses are just few miles away from my home... And yeah, there are many Asians here...
@Nemean Lion who?
Man, this is some real horror movie shit.
My thought exactly. That's some terrifying stuff happening there
You guys are to soft. You should see what happen in Dominican Republic with workers from Haiti. They look for illegal haitians for construction work and they hire like 200 to work. In the day of payment they call the 911 and the workers get deported back to Haití without payment. Thats how it works.
Blackthoven Productions
Duude sure there's stuff happening on planet earth.. duh. But hearing a story like that from an EU country is on another level. That shit happens right there, across the border.
Practices somewhere else do not change anything. You're just some fuckin' compartmentalized kid who hasn't lived a real life yet. Hope reality doesn't come knocking too hard because I doubt you'll handle it well.

Great piece of journalism! I think the Polish government (and other governments) should ban these North Korean companies from using North Korean labourers in their country.
Ban is too extreme but allow them to work like a normal citizen would with breaks and ability to handle your own money etc
+Fabe Babe it is impossible. The money would eventually land in Kim's pockets if transferred back home. Are you suggesting they spent it all in Europe? What's the point? They have to leave their families in NK ie. they can't 'emigrate' out of NK. The only reason they are 'entitled' to work abroad is for NK to make money off them.
A ban is the only way, unfortunately, but that's the only way around.
WHAT ABOUT BANGLADESH..
Aaaaand they did ban them
Poland is likely turning a blind eye because they have a labour shortage.
Wow, this is a great epsiode. I am always amazed to see all the neat stuff Vice covers. Im not sure why they are the only ones who cover these stories.

But yet whenever another country does it its a problem look at ur own country first. Every country runs on cheap immigrant labour its needed
DeniD boy but at least they are free to move around and they also have the opportunity to use the earned money to build a better life for themselves and their families. This is not comparable to limiting someone’s freedom to an absolute zero. Going abroad away from family for 3 years and getting nothing in return is way worse than the exploitation of cheap workforce in the west.

Good job on this documentary. I think many government all over the world are complicit in suppression of poor north korean people... Which is a shame.
This document is a German propaganda look how they show Poland. When they talk about somone from Netherlands they show a picture of beautifull city. And when they talk about Poland they show ugliest parts of the city. Wroclaw is beautifull but they show to look like North Korea. They just try to show how Poland in bad light and this is a German way of douing things (Sorry for bad English)
I am Polish and this is not German propaganda at all, this is the truth being exposed. Whether they show ugly/pretty parts of a city is irrelevant. We're talking about people's lives here. The people involved in that whole scheme are thoroughly evil, greedy human beings, Kim Jong-Un being the worst. This should be outlawed, but alas the evil Kim will simply ship his people elsewhere to be slaves.
*+Werner Von Braun* They're not bashing Poland. The journalists are investigating an odd curious case of how North Koreans are able to work and live in the heart of Europe when it is very damn impossible for the average North Koreans to leave outside their country.

And I bet, that when the socialist cheered for Chavez, elected by the people of venezuela, the all thought "fuck, now that we said that this is socialism, what will we say in 10-20 years, when everybody is poor, with out jobs, medicine and people are fleeing the country?" Well at the moment even Salon magazine struggles to make a good excuse. Other than "evil imperialist blah blah blah"
So what is Poland doing? Well they elected national socialist to run their country and they are, just like any other politician, corrupt. So what does that lead to? The same as in USA: Corporatism and crony capitalism by way of socialism. Oh yeah, nazism is socialism to.
Explaining this to you hasn't been funny, because I know that you believe in socialism and that people shouldn't be free. Even if you tell yourself that socialism is freedom, well that just mean that you haven't read the part about the revolution yet or lack understand of the effect of socialism.
I hope one day, you will support individual freedom and voluntary communities and not the forced society of socialism and state.
No, look at the ideology - its textbook socialism, nothing right wing about it.*****
Amazing reporting. Great digging.
Now THIS was damn good thorough reporting.
N. Korea just launched a missile over Japan and yet the news isn't discussing how private labor agencies in Russia, Qatar, and the EU are, in part, responsible for helping fund these military exercises. Sanctions only work when we, as a global economy, enforce them.
N.Korea: We come to send money to gweat weader Kim Jong Un. May we work in your country?
Polska: Kurwa?
N.Korea: Tank you!
😁 lol
They must have their families back home as some sort of leverage."WORK or I'll TAKE YOU'RE DAUGHTER AS LOVE SLAVE"
That one guy who fled from Russia said that his wife and son died as a result of his escape.
there should be: ,,ale że co kurwa?"
you people are mean
Amazing piece of journalism. Respect.
Great job on this one. Very thorough.
I'm living in Poland and I had absolutely no idea of this happening. What a shocking world we live in.
Yeah, i'm curious who is responsible about add some of north korean workers, human must be no feelings and want to only money for them
"North Korean labourers commonly work 10-12 hour shifts, six days a week, but up to 90 percent of their pay is sent back to the hermit state, according to the European Alliance for Human Rights in North Korea (EAHRNK).
Most are working in Polish shipyards, construction sites and farms. North Koreans are also employed in leisure and clothing firms in Malta, and have worked in other EU countries including Germany, Italy, Austria and the Netherlands, it said."
wait what? did I just see Germany on this list?
jamielynx J. j
jamielynx and not to food or agriculture. they have no real money making due to everyone cutting them off. they send laborers to fund for weapons and nuclear technology

Why are migrants complaining?
Ahhh, the joys of being ruled by a communist totalitarian regime....
Demitris Hernandez It's because the DPRK is run like a cult. Their only interest is preserving the Kim dynasty and maintaining a monolithic front to the rest of the world. This is a method they have worked out to get around international sanctions and continue funding the lavish lifestyle of the North Korean political elite.
Amazing investigative reporting, very in depth work here friend.
Fascinating, and terrible, thank you for the brilliant reporting.
27:07 "They take trips to Hel" The irony is real!!!
Hel is a town in Poland
@@__Lx__ Thanks for that info. The irony still stands though ;-)
more like Hell
@@__Lx__ *a peninsula
She takes trips there
I'm Polish. Those information revealed in polish media about half a year ago.
polska.newsweek.pl/robotnicy-z-korei-polnocnej-w-polsce-co-robia-koreanczycy-w-polsce-,film,374130.html
Yeah I thought I heard of this before XD
and yet nothing has changed...
Where are you from?
Which is more evidence against you -what has changed?
+Mustafa M "evidence against Polish authorities"
20:59 did the narrator say: "...the laborers in Wroclaw and Warsaw..."? I live in Wroclaw and would be interested.
Last time I was in Wroclaw I couldn’t help but seeing all these ads on billboards for luxury apartments
How sad is this? We complain about little things , and if we think one of minute of a North Korean ?
alter dieses englisch, die aussprache ist so wie wenn ich üüüüüüüübelst übertreibe, wenn man sich über schlechte aussprache lustig machen will.
ändert das was an dem englisch mit stärkstem deutschen akzent, den man haben kann?
ich habe nach diesem Kommentar GESUCHT ;) aber du hast sooooo Recht.
*****
ja ich weiß wie es ist englisch zu lernen, man fängt in der dritten klasse an und wenn man das abitur fertig hat sind so 90% der internetaktivitäten auf englisch, man kann sich aussuchen ob man es eher britisch oder amerikanisch klingen lassen will und wenn man filme guckt ist im vergleich zu nem englischen orginalfilm die deutsche synchro einfach immer schlecht. andere generationen hatten das lernen evtl nicht so leicht. rumheulen tut hier aber niemand, wir machen uns darüber lustig :D
tuusousand and fifteen
Komisch wie sich nur die Deutschen über seine aussprache aufregen.
17:50 The translation is completely wrong, she said "there may be distortions in these statistics because north korea sometimes gets mixed up with south korea", nothing about not being able to answer the question
This was soooo good to watch. Very good journalism
This is an incredible story. This is why I love VICE so much. The reporter really made good efforts to get to the bottom of the story.
Thank you vice for making this video, I hope this gets acknowledged by the world so that things could actually change
Outstanding content , great reporting
Please keep doing videos like this, Vice. Legit.
There just poor people stuck working for a narcissistic and manipulative state god bless them and help them brake the cycle of Tyranny :,(
tyran lol what do you mean?
Tyran clearly this is all happening because of you. Brake the cycle of tyran....y
So you obviously understood what he ment by it, are you the grammer police or?
Not sure how the workers are breaking a cycle of Tyranny they work for nothing the money the workers make is sent directly to North Korean Government this is how they are able to get currency.
U CLOWN.
All of these corporations turning a blind eye and blatantly lying are horrible.
there not lying the fact that your seeing this mean there not trying to hide it or stop the information being transmitted at all its the north Korean worker that secretive about there work they could at any time just w alk to the nearest police station and report abuse and seek south Korean embassy and get asylum in less then a day and gain there freedom no one in Poland is stooping them its the north Korean that hold there family hostage company are not political there economical they show all there payment record to the vice crew about how much each north Korean worker gets its the north Korean side that wont show weather they fairly paid there workers and unless European are willing to work hard labour for peanuts and the most basic of insurance for minimum wage this trend will continue because no company in there rite mind will refuse to get a job done for less cost the polish really have no idea nor do they care to know anything more then how many available to work and how much must they pay for them to work as long as the polish company are concern there not breaking any law there not forcing the north Korean to stay and work there not being secretive about there operation its the labour agency side that is being fishy and that is not in jurisdiction of the polish government
@@patthonsirilim5739 fix ur grammar please, I barely understand what you are even saying
Wow. Excellent program and investigative work.
Now this is the kind of thing I follow Vice for!
Im South Korean and pretty sure Vice put those workers into serious trouble without meaning to be... They might have been end up in labor camp by now. They are not politically allowed to be in any in-direct or direct contact with any form or type of media from outside of their world. Vice should have put more effort on those interviewees security rights.
이경인 hi, as a Polish person I think that it's unacceptable that they work there in such conditions. Poland is a democratic country, so that has to end. I am very sorry on behalf of all polish people
if you think this is bad you shouldve seen the earlier north korean labour camp videos lol they barely blurred their faces (you could still see their face clearly if you move far away from your screen) and didnt change their voices at all... pretty careless
Yep, more and likely NK won't wait to see who it was that interviewed with Vice. NK leader will just punish them all as a group (in a NK camp) and a new group of "workers" will be brought into Poland.
As a moose from belaruse i think its weird people have to declare there nationality in a lot of these comments.
@@turbo682 hi as a Filipino, I agree with you.
I have seen them on the streets of Gdansk for years and it didn't crossed my mind that they are in fact from North Korea and are working and living in such condition. Such a disgrace.
if theyre on the streets chances are they arent north koreans cause they are kept in isolation. all they do is work and sleep and eat mostly work tho 66% of their days revolve in hard grunt work. also if you see an asian smiling they arent north korean.
hey celebrity vine i saw the stitches video yesterday. what a coincidence seeing you here
Greg Blondek There were about 400 labourers from NK in Poland at the time of making this documentary, so I doubt you'd see any of them.
I am also from Poland and there’re rumors about Koreans working in a factory near my hometown, I fought they are some executives from the South Korea, but this video made me think... wow
Here we thought he would be in power forever. This disease touched everyone. May 4th still in quarantine.
Thanks for investigating! I had no idea this was happening in the middle of the EU. I am quite shocked and it was brave to ask those uncomfomfortable questions.
Massive respect for these good journalism and good report by the way i like music that plays at 22.47.
Im so curious to see if anything has changed today.
The polish government shut down the camps after someone was brutally beat for thinking of desertion with the help of the polish police
Great job vice!!!!
That´s some quality journalism thank you!
too bad they hired a transator with bad Korean..... (22:10 how she said made me cringe as not only she said the ending of the question wrong, which she fixed it later, but that was not the proper way to ask question to someone who is stranger.) it would have been better who can at least who can fluently speak north dialect of Korean.
I know right?! I don't know why they used two different interpreters...
The guy that was interviewing the men on bikes were very good, sounded like he was from the South, but knew how to speak to Northerners.
I cringed every time the girl interpreter said anything... so slow, so inaccurate...
just look at her hair... that explains everything xD
Obviously they hired two different people because it was at two different locations.
"Unfortunately Icannot answer this question" means that officially it's true but guy did his own savings xD
Great report
