This was right in the middle of the mass famine in NK in the 90's. You better believe every angle of this film was staged and alot of effort was put into making North Koreans look normal and happy. This was mainly in Pyongyang too where many of the elite live and the suffering wasn't apparent. That amusement park was the most depressing one I have ever seen also. This film was pure propaganda.
1:06:05 If you look to the bottom left of the screen you can see wrestlers Ric Flair and Antonio Inoki as guests to the event, This was for a PPV wrestling event being held in N.Korea in 1995. Apparently Mohammed Ali was also there.

A lot of the people in the countryside were okay, because they were able to grow their own food. Most of the deaths actually came from the bigger cities
@@arandomperson3516when the red cross brought in tons of food, it never left Pyongyang so their comments were correct. Most of the affected people lived in the country.

North Korea had a stronger economy than both South Korea and China. It was know as the fashion capital of the east due to their strong clothes manufacturing industry. After Soviet Union collapsed in the 90's, the economy of North Korea started to collapse by 40% every single year. They had to close most of their industries due to not having access to resources from the Soviet union like fuel.
They were very, very strongly economically dependent to USSR and only thanks to soviets their economy was quite good until 1990s. Later it was just only a decline and a struggle without Soviet help.

No, South Korea surpassed North Korea by the mid 1970s measured in GDP per capita. In fact, the South grew faster than the North in 1965 and given that higher growth rate they were able to first equal and then surpass the North. What I do recognize as correct is the effect the USSR's collapse had. As you mention, the North's economy went on a downwards spiral after the demise of the USSR.
The eeriest part is how little NK changed. If you didn't tell me it was 1995 I would have well been convinced this was recorded recently Also I like the part at 2:09:36

nk had a much stronger economy thanks to cheap, heavily subsidized Soviet oil and fertilizer, not to mention that the USSR also happily bought their sweat shop textile products . After the collapse of USSR, the cheap oils and fertilizers were gone and they only have the chance to barter with China who has a low demand to textile goods as they already have a robust textile industry. So, in a nutshell, the NK economy before 1991 was doing Ok and it went downhill since then.
No matter which year you watch documentaries about North Korea, old or new, you get the same atmosphere, the same images, the same colors that cannot be enhanced with anything.
If you want to know about the culture, history, people, monuments and cities etc of this country without politics getting in the way visit 'DPRK Explained' - +++ videos.....brilliant channel 👍
They are in the midst of a period of great famine, and countless people have died outside of Pyongyang, and it is hard to imagine that this is the time that happened in 2000, a damned dictatorial family
This was recorded in the 90's. Nowadays I made DPRK Great Again. If you visit Pyongyang today, you will be elated! Now, it looks we're living in the early 2000's! 😀🇰🇵🙋
This is some kind of horror, people essentially do not live, they just exist. I hope someday Korea will unite into a single country. And this mess will end.
The DMZ is so eerie. What if they started kicking a football back and forth across the line? Or playing music in collaboration with each other? They know our music.
In a similar vein, South Korea sometimes uses loudspeakers to broadcast music and news reports to NK soldiers. The soldiers like it and even sing along to the songs, but the North Korean government is very aware that it can be damaging to their dictatorship, so they try their best to block it. At one point, the North Korean military even ordered weapons to be fired into the loudspeakers. Recently, a bunch of North Koreans were publicly executed for watching K-dramas and listening to K-pop, too. The situation is terrible, even the North Koreans know it.
The NK’s all look very thin, someone said in a comment this was the time of the famine, so what did people in the not elite class look like 😢 3:53 there’s a massive difference between the nk soldiers and the American one on the border nmz. I expect he could run a few miles without much problem or move tons of sand, I doubt the others could run very far or lift much at all. I’ve seen documentaries with ex nk soldiers looking at soldiers around the world. They were all astounded by their size & strength
Most of the deaths happened further North around the mountain ranges. A lot of the people that worked the coal mines were basically trapped up there with very little way of getting any food or going out to look for it. So the villages that had formed around were dying. A lot of the defectors that talk about North korea mention that you don't really get paid money to work, you get food rations as payment. But people who couldn't work were basically allowed to wither and die.
THE ONLY THING THAT CHANGED FROM 1995 TO 2024 IS THE CAMERA QUALITY

This looks more modern than videos of North Korea in 2022
Possibly because nothing's been updated during the intervening years. Wear and tear.
@@paulanderson7796that looks more like it. Back then north korea was more prosperous. But the famine hit nk hard
nk had a much stronger economy thanks to cheap, heavily subsidized Soviet oil and fertilizer, not to mention that the USSR also happily bought their sweat shop textile products . After the collapse of USSR, the cheap oils and fertilizers were gone and they only have the chance to barter with China who has a low demand to textile goods as they already have a robust textile industry. So, in a nutshell, the NK economy before 1991 was doing Ok and it went downhill since then.
The only thing that gives it away is the 5 second clip of the fat PC monitor the lady was trying to use as a cash register
Not a single obese person. Daily ration of rice was not big I assume.
In NK you get white rice once a year, on your birthday. They WISH they got rice every day.
@10:19 in 3 years I'd be on the other side as a US Army Soldier watching them.
North Korea, a country where people have to be happy, even though they are not…
Tutto il mondo capitalista e così per le classi subalterne...
In tutto il video, non c'è una persona che sorride.
No matter which year you watch documentaries about North Korea, old or new, you get the same atmosphere, the same images, the same colors that cannot be enhanced with anything.
95년도나 지금이나 똑같아 보인다 ㅋㅋ
어찌보면 저때보다도 못해보임 ㄹㅇ 저때는 사람 막 가두고 감시하는정도까진 아니어보임 ㄹㅇ
how is this not marked official propaganda by NK is wild to me
What a miserable existence living in this country!! Nothing fun to do here.
Pobre gente Dios mio!
If you want to know about the culture, history, people, monuments and cities etc of this country without politics getting in the way visit 'DPRK Explained' - +++ videos.....brilliant channel 👍
people think its 1950s
В это время в стране был страшный голод.

They are in the midst of a period of great famine, and countless people have died outside of Pyongyang, and it is hard to imagine that this is the time that happened in 2000, a damned dictatorial family
Bardzo dobry film który pozwala poznać Koreę Północną 🇰🇵
cursed land
This was recorded in the 90's. Nowadays I made DPRK Great Again. If you visit Pyongyang today, you will be elated! Now, it looks we're living in the early 2000's! 😀🇰🇵🙋
This is some kind of horror, people essentially do not live, they just exist. I hope someday Korea will unite into a single country. And this mess will end.
The DMZ is so eerie. What if they started kicking a football back and forth across the line? Or playing music in collaboration with each other? They know our music.
Watch NHK Japan. They don’t have footballs and they periodically kill South Korean soldiers with axes.
In a similar vein, South Korea sometimes uses loudspeakers to broadcast music and news reports to NK soldiers.
The soldiers like it and even sing along to the songs, but the North Korean government is very aware that it can be damaging to their dictatorship, so they try their best to block it. At one point, the North Korean military even ordered weapons to be fired into the loudspeakers.
Recently, a bunch of North Koreans were publicly executed for watching K-dramas and listening to K-pop, too. The situation is terrible, even the North Koreans know it.
Dreadful
It is so unbelievable humans are treated this way all we can do is pray for them❤😮
The NK’s all look very thin, someone said in a comment this was the time of the famine, so what did people in the not elite class look like 😢
3:53 there’s a massive difference between the nk soldiers and the American one on the border nmz. I expect he could run a few miles without much problem or move tons of sand, I doubt the others could run very far or lift much at all.
I’ve seen documentaries with ex nk soldiers looking at soldiers around the world. They were all astounded by their size & strength
Most of the deaths happened further North around the mountain ranges. A lot of the people that worked the coal mines were basically trapped up there with very little way of getting any food or going out to look for it. So the villages that had formed around were dying. A lot of the defectors that talk about North korea mention that you don't really get paid money to work, you get food rations as payment. But people who couldn't work were basically allowed to wither and die.
