- ⛄ NORTHEAST PASSAGE ON ICEBREAKER 🧊 - • ⛄ Northeast Passage on...
This is a film about a traveller in the strange land called North Korea or officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
Tours to the DPRK are tightly scheduled and normally include a visit to the demilitarised zone, museums and statues to Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jong-Il, Pyongyang’s amusements parks, chandelier-laden metro system and showcase entertainment facilities such as the Circus and the SchoolChildren's Palace. In addition to these, I took a flightseeing flight on a Mi-17 helicopter over the DPRK's capital city of Pyongyang. As well, as my tour was an extended one, it also went the northeast of the DPRK to the tri-country area around the Rason Special Economic Zone where the DPRK, China and Russia conjoin.
The cult of the Kims is perhaps the most extraordinary feature of the DPRK. Images or statues of Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jong-Il are found everywhere. These graven images are effectively worshipped. This film shows scenes of the veneration of the Kims (Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il) that were witnessed.
The government guides control both what you can see and also what you can take photographs of. If you take a photograph of the military, construction or something that they feel does not portray the DPRK in a positive light then they force you to delete the photograph. On exiting the country, the border guards also reviewed photographs to see if they conformed to the aforementioned standards. Despite these restrictions, this film contains images that accurately portray the state of the country as I saw it.

I'm a dedicated subscriber. And this is by far your most informative and interesting video to date. Your extensive knowledge is very impressive. Very surprised you had so much access to the country outside Pyongyang. Keep up the good work. Well done! I will be sharing this on my social platforms. With all the U.S. interest regarding the escalation of the nuclear program, more people need to see this to really understand the oppression these people endure everyday.
+Troy EZ
First off thanks for subscribing. I did my best to capture what I observed during my journey through the DPRK and then to put a film together that reflects my observations of that country. So it's good to hear that you found it interesting.
+CroDan
It's generally agreed that the DPRK finances its weapons programs by means of trade with China; money earned by North Korean labourers sent abroad; and various types of illicit activities.
Please check the current prices with one of the tour companies offering such trips.
tletter thank you in my book this is way better than the BBC documentary made.years ago.
Grateful foryour work and uploading this.
Blessings.
I linked everyone on my Twitter page to this film, in fact.
do you think that country has no income because NK believe in some considerably odds by western view , they are doing their best by limited resources , you didn't visit germany
I'm officially addicted to North Korea documentaries
Same here! God know how I came across them but I'm glad I did!
Ok not just me
lol i am too! i'd love to go visit
Me too, almost learned Korean. Like a Bulgarian man, I know very well what a communistic totalitarian regime is:(
I think this in nearly the 10th one I have watched since being in Quarantine haha
I've never seen a more comprehensive video on the DPRK. These poor people are like animals who were born in a zoo. They have no idea they're held captive or what's just outside their cage.
Being a traffic girl in North Korea looks mind-numbingly boring. A traffic cop with no traffic is a perfect metaphor for this creepy place!
honestly the best DPRK documentaries available. the details, the explanations, the quality and quantity is all here. thank you for this!
This is 100% the best doc available on DPRK and most accurately shows what appears to be a really awesome itinerary that way exceeds the simple, boring 3-day and 4-night itineraries most tourists select that only visit the cliché Pyongyang sites and the DMZ. Boring. This is so much cooler.
A UNKNOWN THAT I HAVE HAD FOR DECADES,...BECAUSE YOU NEVER SEE PEOPLE IN WHEELCHAIRS...OR WITH CRUTCHES...OR THE BLIND WITH A WHITE CANE OR PEOPLE WITH ANY WHITE CANE ON THE STREETS OR IN LARGE POPULAR PARTIES IN NORTH KOREA. ANOTHER MOTOR OR MENTAL DISABILITY??' IS THERE...SOMEONE WHO ANSWERS ME??
This video is way much better than National Geographic documentaries. Great job!
+Raul R
Thanks for the compliment but realistically, I'm only one man producing films, unlike the extensive team used by National Geographic.
No unnecessary bloat via pompous music and/or special effects. I really like raw documentaries and you did a fanstastic job. :)
Don't underestimate the great work you did here, I found this documentary one of the best I've seen. Gives a good scope of the country outside of what typically shown of DPRK. Well done and thanks.
The NatGeo is technically superior but I am sure he meant the information value of your video being so much better. I think absolutely the same.
Many people think of NK as a dark grey gulag, with undernourished people like from a concentration camp looking out from barrack windows with bars.
We see there are people just like you and me, and they are not as closed as some western propaganda wants to make us believe.
Some of the women are stunningly beautiful.
If you allow me some criticism, the music is often to loud and too much.
+Peter Kroll
>the music is often to loud and too much.
I appreciate you taking the time to mention this and I’ll endeavour to make a change in future films. Unfortunately if I fire the sound editor, I’ll also be firing the cameraman, the director, the story editor, the researcher, the narrator and the film editor :)
This is by far the most extensive video I have seen about a visit to North Korea. Well done.
I’m surprised that they allowed you to not bow to the Kim statues. I have massive respect for you for standing up for your beliefs in one of the most repressive countries in the world.
I mean it's a bit silly considering you are directly funding the regime. What a crazy country.
I don't know how they will ever come out of this to be honest. I think it will only come from an internal revolt.
He's extremely lucky he didn't get arrested, over there you're not aloud to film any military activity, which it's almost impossible to do filming without capturing some soldiers on film
@@harrymarsh3912bro the guys balls are massive to pull this shit off look at that guy who took a poster
I wouldn't have bowed either. Those are considered false idols.
@Krcutb yeah. Otto took it to a whole new level
I'm amazed at the access you managed to get. Filming from a helicopter tour of Pyongyang, didn't think that was possible. And a quite extensive bus tour, most just go to the border and back to Pyongyang again. Quite possibly the best and most detailed travel video from North Korea I have seen. Thank you!
+zap fan
Unlike most visitors, I took an extended tour of the DPRK to get a better feel for the country. Thanks for commenting.
@@tletter did you have any fears while visiting? What was your favorite part? What was the worst part? Did you have to acquire permission before filming specific things? Did anyone speak English, or did you learn their language?
@Ben Lewis sad situation. I recently watched Joe Rogan with NK refugee Yeonmi Park. She tells of horrible conditions for the people of the country
@@ext93 hi best korea here. HAHAHAHAHAH YOU WATCH YEOMI PARK LUL. YOu know right shes a fucking joke? shes very famous for lying about litteraly everything about the dpk like all defectors dprk experts and specialists and other defectors say shes a liar. her words always sound scripted and staged. and this is all barley the tip of the iceberg. and even if all of what she said was true. LOYALTY TO THE STATE NO MATTER WHAT.
@@ext93 She completely changes her story all the time bruv wouldn't trust these so called defectors of NK as South Koreas government literally offers 800k for NK defectors to round up a story since they are technically still at war.
I love you didn't bow! Huge balls my friend, much respect.
By far, one of the most interesting videos I have ever watch about N. Korea! Thank you for sharing.
+Alfonso Portugal
Good to hear - thanks for commenting.
That creepy morning melody gets me everytime!
Meh, I have livec in several Islamic countries, and morning prayers are creepy, as are the broadcasted propaganda of communist countries, though I have not yet been to North Korea, might never get there, but it is on my list.
@@owenshebbeare2999 how is morning prayers creepy
@@owenshebbeare2999 i mean the ones that are on 4 and 5 am kinda creepy if you're staying awake that long but the rest is okay
Very inspiring music. Would rather listen to that than some of the horrible rap music we hear in America. Bleh!
@@ArchYeomans rap is not music
I love the nonchalance with which you are able to film, and later point out, military structures, isolate them in editing, and show where and what they are. If I didn’t know any better, this is a half-tourist / half-espionage video.
I became addicted to this video, I often use my phone while this video playing in the background. Your voice is soothing and choice of music is excellent, content is very informative. Thank you for making this video from the bottom of my heart.
+Smalsheh
Wow, thank you!
@@tletter wish you all the best brotha, keep up the great work!
That morning wake-up music is like the soundtrack to HELL!
You said it brother. I mean EVERY FUCKING MORNING OF YOUR LIFE??!! FUUUCK THAT SHIT!!
@@mickmcloughlin1646 You'll eventually get used to it lol
It's a bit like the call to prayer,
Like the Mekong Delta towns in Vietnam
Say a prayer for our brothers and sisters in NK even if you aren't religious
Some of the best footage of North Korea that I have seen. Well done! Amazing stuff!
Spectacular video! This took a ton of work, and it is greatly appreciated.
+Matt Williams
Indeed it did. Thanks for commenting.

+Sam Thompson
Good to hear that you enjoyed and thanks for commenting.
Probably the best tour by film of Pyongyang and DPRK I have seen. I seen many of the ones made by tourists and of course they are all about the same. But you have labeled and identified so much more than I have ever seen before...Wonderful!
+iworkout
Thanks, I do try to make my films worthwhile viewing.
iworkout I was thinking the same thing, until he said “a hundred and story”. Not really sure what that meant.
Vice news did a great one on north korea but what they saw was all staged by their government
@@alphavader951 thats what faux news and bbc told you huh?
@@alphavader951 after you being there, having spoken with the people, you should be an expert on north korea, why dont ytou show us your film
Your audio commentary and on screen text is hilarious! Great video,seriously one of the best in respect to visiting North Korea.
+topper2142
Good to hear.
Having watched dozens upon dozens of videos made by a tourist who visited North Korea, this one is by far the most in-depth showing places gone to I have never seen from other visitors. Very entertaining and enjoyable!

Ive watched quite a lot of peoples videos of their visits to North Korea and yours has a lot of content. I am suprised actually how much content you managed to capture that I was under the belief you would never be allowed to take out of the country, for example of the population that live outside of Pyongyang. I actually learnt a lot from your video that I didnt know before.
+Kittyowlblu
Good to hear.
This is the BEST documentary on dprk that I've ever watched. Thank You.
I watch this among other videos on NK at least once a year. I find NK interesting, in a morbid curiosity way I suppose. Ty for the great video
This is the most detailed documentary into North Korea I have ever seen... You even went to places that are not visited by most other tourists. Great stuff!
Long live Kim Jong Un, our glorious leader !!!!

@tletter: The very best travel documentary in DPRK I have seen so far. It’s much much better than some official documentaries by big TV channels spending big money on it. I liked very much all your arrows and online explanations! Furthermore your interesting time lapse captures are great as well! Excellent job! Big like!
Best documentary on North Korea DPRK I’ve seen to date. Very good job! The closest I’ve come to understanding the Hermit Kingdom before this was a blog entry titled 1stop North Korea. Going there must feel like going back in a time machine. I’ll watch this again!
This is one of the best films I've seen that give you a insight to North Korea. Often, you see films that offer just small glimpses of this country. But here the film makers presents everything straight up matter and to the point!
I travelled to North Korea for 4 days a couple years ago and now I live in Seoul. Can’t believe both countries are “korea”.
IMO this is the best NK video on TH-cam. I have watched over 50 vlogs of people's travels through the hermit kingdom and yours is by far the most detailed and factual. You must have put much time into creating this fabulous content. I thank you!
I'm genuinely surprised you were able to get this much footage out of the country. Most network NK documentaries don't have a fraction of what you captured. Excellent work, and thank you for sharing your trip.
+moosey
Good to hear that you appreciate the effort involved.
@moosey completely agree! And I've seen a lot about NK (perhaps u too:)
At least they knew one amusement park wasnt enough. I agree with that 100%.
A lot of that has to do with the fact that all major and minor networks are state subsidized to some capacity, and have an agenda to present in exchange for that funding. Seriously, everyone from HBO to Fox and CBS receive government subsidies, and there are very specific rules and stipulations in place that one must follow if they want more government money.
There is a propagandic goal in mind when Western media create a "documentary" on a state enemy like the DPRK, Cuba, Venezuela or Angola. They want to present an image of North Korea as far more dystopic and brutal than it actually is.
North Korea is not a communist paradise, but considering what they went through as a country from 1951 onwards to today (especially in the 90s with the March of Suffering) they're doing significantly better than the West depicts them to be. They'd be doing a lot better though if we peeled back the trading sanctions, but of course we can't have a successful socialist North Korea existing right above a competing (and currently failing) capitalist South Korea.
@@JeBubbieSpubbies looks like we've found the resident North Korean youtube commenter...
Thanks for sharing such a detailed account of your trip. It was fascinating and allowed me to visit DPRK vicariously through you, which I very much enjoyed!
+George Costanza
Thanks George, I enjoyed your performance in Seinfeld 🙂
This is really incredible. Great job on the documentation on this hermit kingdom. I said to myself how are there still videos of NK I haven’t seen yet. Your documentary was very well detailed with other places in Pyongyang I haven’t seen in other videos.
''DPRK army goes to space'' 23:05 hadn't had a good laugh like that in a long time hahaha
+AlertF16
Yes, I thought that it was an amusing scene when I saw it.
I laughed so hard when I saw that!
they did get a military satellite rocket put in space... so maybe its referring to that
Thank you for a very wonderful presentation of DPR Korea!
I echo many of the comments left here, and wanted to add that I'm so glad there's no headache dance music / intrusive sound fx in the background. Fabulous work, I'm relieved you got alive.
I was fascinated to watch North Korea documentaries back in the 1990s and 2000s, when even limited access and secretive recordings were a big thing, but now any videos that come online are nothing more than than virtually the same places and sites, just revisited in more current times. I do applaud the work put into this video by the originator. It’s really hard not to shake one’s head and laugh here and there when seeing various images and hearing the North Korean version of life and history as everyone on the outside knows what’s truth and what’s North Korean fiction. The Kim dynasty continues its ways in building up their military to keep South Korea and Japan on edge, while hiding the fact that even with covert help and materials from outside countries, they still have a third world military. This goes on while citizens continue to starve and die, malnourishment is rampant, imprisonment is frequent all while the jolly and fat dictator, gets fatter and lives the best capitalist life, everyday.
This is still one of my favorite North Korean videos even though it's nearly two and a half years old. It feels very personal yet informative as a documentary. There is plenty of commentary, yet it is directly related to your experience. I love the emphasis on the boots-on-the-ground, through-my-own-eyes sort of presentation. The mix of video and stills are quite good, and you are definitely not trying too hard to make it into a certain "look." And the choice of music immersed the viewer into the narrative. The narration/voice over also isn't too formal, which makes it feel like a travel journal rather than a documentary.
I love it too, but it's not like anything has changed in these years (or the last 50 for that matter). I would never even cough in the direction of North Korea. That place scares me more than anywhere else

Thank you for sharing and happy you made it out safe. Excellent job.
Absolutely loved this presentation! What amazing footage and photos you got!

Yes indeed, as everyone says, you've done a wonderful job!
Thank you!
Very, very interesting video and I loved that you were so clear with explaining both in text and by telling us, what the images showed us. Very well done! I found it just a bit hard sometimes to understand you with the music playing.
I want to congratulate you on providing the most comprehensive look into North Korea that I have EVER seen. I am a Canadian who lived in Seoul as an English Teacher for three years. I went to the DMZ and travelled throughout South Korea. I have always been intrigued by North Korea and now thanks to you I feel like I have been there. Well done!

This is wonderful!! You have done such a fine job Great photography and really great commentary.
+Longfordboy
Good to hear that you enjoyed my film.
Really eye-opening and well done. I find and devour stuff on the DPRK, and this was somehow refreshingly new.
May I add something? A friend at my church is married to a NK defector. She got out with her older brother at the age of 17. The backstory is that it was just the 3 of them, mother having died when she was 5 years old. Her father was highly talented artist and was rewarded for that. They lived quite well by NK standards. When the father was diagnosed with malignant and spreading lung cancer, he arranged for the two kids to get out through China. They had about 25,000 U.S worth of gold on them when they left. The father, she said, had obviously been setting this up, because it went off hitchless. She said that she and her brother knew nothing until the day before they left. Her father was an amazing man who, even though riddled with terminal cancer, was surely tortured terribly before he was granted death. She said he shamelessly explained to her the uncomfortable way she would have to hide the gold pieces when going through China. And she told me that her father said that life in the West would be worth any suffering … That if things didn't go right and she was faced with rape that the brother was not to lose his life defending her honor. She said he told them to just get to America at any cost. Her brother married a girl in Soul and lives there now where he is a college professor. She is a curator and expert restorer at the Chicago Art History Museum.
But I digress. I started the story because of the narrator's comment on the elevator rules in Pyongyang. Sue, my Korean friend's name, said that they lived in Pyongyang high-rise, but said that if you were in 10 floor building then you had no lift. And that many old and sick are either carried up and down or they don't go out.
+Dave Crockett
An interesting story - thanks. The lack of elevators would restrict the lives of many.
You dumb ass! Don't you know N.Korea tracks down defectors to punish them? Now you gave them something to go on, "good job" nincompoop!
@@horsewithnoname8795 north korea isn't going to track anyone down in South Korea or in Chicago. They're only going to do that if they go back to North Korea, which no one will do. There's plenty of defectors who are highly visible and openly critical. Those would be the ones they try to track down. But they're not going to.

Glad that you enjoyed it.
Incredible document of this country. Thank you.
Your narration reminds so much of my father narrating our slide shows to Walt Disney in the 70s yet their is a major difference in the place of destination ofcourse. You are in the most isolated country in the world yet I am relaxed by your voice and education of your visit. Well done sir! New sub! All the best to you from 🇨🇦👏🏼

@@ohhi5237 it would be more funny than pathetic if we both pretend that you don't know exactly what's being said.
