- When Nicholas Kristof traveled to the world's most isolated country, he found a nation furious with Trump, and primed for nuclear war - in kindergartens, amusements parks and the halls of government.

ALL THESE PEOPLE AREN'T STUPID. They know their country is a joke. They're simply playing their role to stay alive.
That depends, there have been cases in China of people (often young children) who have been brainwashed to believe that mao was a god, and was amazing.
It's like that most of the times, but foreigners get deceived by the government propaganda...Happens everytime I mention my venezuelan nationality in an english speaking website, I get all kind of comments about how communism sucks and how we desserve it for "voting for Maduro/Chavez" when every latin american knows most venezuelans don't support their govt. When I try to explain it, they usually talk about stats and videos they saw in the official venezuelan media (propaganda).
JK...Like most of the world,, they are scared, they do not trust Americans...
You talk about people being brainwashed in China, yet listen to yourself...If you believe different then refute my claims using reality and fact,, not conjecture and false patriotism....where did I mention oil in any of my comments here???If it makes you feel better, nowhere are people being screwed over by elite corporations more than those in America, many working multiple jobs just to enjoy the benefits of foodstamps and poverty...never before has America been a more unequal society as it is now..
You're a joke
The whole country “signed up”. Like they have a choice.
SST Lol true
More like forced to join
Not that easy. It truly is way more complex than that.
Except Jehovah's Witnesses
They don't want to end up like Libya or Iraq
I hope no one ended up imprisoned or killed just for their interview answers
they definitely did something to that kid who didn't wanna answer at 18:25.
You can see in his eyes he doesnt think the reporter is a bad person, but he has to say he hates americans and wants to fight.
god bless his soul I hope he is okay
Yeah I wonder if it's even worth it doing these interviews. Half of the people clearly looked distressed at having to answer the questions.
You should probably stop believing the ridiculous narrative of the west and global north considering how often they lie about everything.
As if the NYT gives a crap.. haha I say the same thing when I see these types of documentaries filmed inside authoritarian states..
@@sauceyjim2135 doubtful. He’s just beyond nervous and has no idea how he should answer such an open ended question. No one has probably ever asked a question like that. Suddenly you have a couple Americans filming you with a minder saying all is well. Most other docs have the kids proudly talking about shooting Americans. The kids will be fine.
My heart bleeds for that little guy in the library. The terror in his face and his whole body just tensed up. So heartbreakingly sad.
Me too, I don't know if you could feel it, but it was just like him reflecting all the things he would like to say, like the truth, then thinking what would happen to him or his family if he would've decided to speak...I hope he's okay
you should let your hear bleed for the South Korea and US, UN fallen soildiers falling to fight for South Korea
they shed their blood to protect South Korean.
Me as well, poor kid was so afraid tht he didn't know wht to say so it's obvious tht thy are taught at such a young age tht thy can't never complain about the real life conditions in north Korea, so sad to see.
@@yourboyfriend9480 why?
@@yourboyfriend9480 this is such a weird comment to make
You shouldnt be asking them certain questions when you know at the end of the day you go home & they get sent to prison & tortured.
Yes! I understand it's an interesting subject but they're not being careful at all. They're not being mindful that the smallest thing could get these people in trouble. That's not good journalism
Exactly.
Darris Hawks let me guess, you read a about this for 2 minutes on 4chan and now you’re an expert?
They don't care. As long as they get to story/video home and cash in by us viewers. 😕
Darris Hawks lol you’re so stupid. Do you know how totalitarian dictatorships work? The government controls EVERYTHING
The boy in the library who couldn't even answer made me want to cry, he had so much pain in his eyes
@@evas6770 I worry the same thing.
They should not have included that footage. He would have been at least shamed and disciplined for not producing the right comments about the leader or death to America. Very careless choice for a non essential clip.
@@TheAnef88 That would have happened regardless of the footage being shown. At least if it's shown people can see for themselves what the people who live there are suffering from.
I stopped watching the video after that. I felt so bad for him, he was terrified. I don't understand what they hoped to gain by cornering children and asking them questions that could get them into so much trouble if they answered wrong.
He's worried if I say say something wrong my whole family will be sent to prison.
My heart is totally broken for that kid that didn't know what to say. He is so scared, and he doesn't deserve that.
12:24 seeing those little kids sleeping peacefully just made me sad knowing the bizarre 1984-esque world they are growing up in
If you were really paying attention, you could see whenever the interviewee answered a question they always glanced fearfully at the minder or any gov official there.
I'd guess they're seeing if the minder is giving a signal not to answer. Of course they can't go to an interview and answer every question. North Korea has a micromanaging iron grip on their people.
Because they are shot dead if they do not go along!
Well that woman's look at 20:00 says frankly: "Sure I believe in......but I can't."
Joshua, until the miner coached her. by the way the man in the brown suit is a 3rd minder to make sure these people give "correct" answers.
You didn’t have to be “really paying attention”. These people are clearly terrified!
I feel uneasy how it seems like these reporters are trying to get the everyday North Koreans to say something disparaging.
Wow I feel the same way
If only both countries can come to understand eachother.
Yeah same
@Darris Hawks this isnt really a 2 sides story though is it.
How so? These were pretty open-ended questions. "What do you think of America and what do you think we should know about North Korea?"
You can see very real childhood trauma in that boy who couldn't answer the question. Internal conflict. So sad.
This man has balls of STEEL to ask questions like that in North Korea, major props to him
Rubbish! All he did was put locals at risk.
''Feel free to speak frankly.'' 💀
That’s a death sentence is communism.
N. Korea has nobody named Frank..
I think that was an implied threat. She knew it too.
but not freely
I feel bad for that young kid who was very uncomfortable and nervous with all those questions.
man, i feel bad for those that was getting interviewed. this white dude could get them killed.
His inability to automatically praise the "Dear Leader" to the hilt will likely result in him, his immediate family and his teachers being "reassigned" to a labor camp. For a decade or three.
@@ballislife9834 because Americans ignorant nation. They don't care, what kind position he putting that kid. He will sell this interview for bunch if money in the USA .
I feel bad for them living in that country in general. North Korea sucks.
He had no idea how to reply! Poor kid.
19:09 I’ve heard that everyone in the capital are ‘paid actors’ not talking in the sense that they are paid but to live there they know what is expected of them if they ever come across this situation. That’s why the handlers weren’t bothered about interview strangers
And you believe that? You must be American.
I did lol am I wrong? I definitely could be. What do u think? Genuinely want to learn about what’s happening in North Korea. From the uk btw.
@@Evelynlouise089 Wow! You've heard that from someone else who doesn't know. I'm told only the elite live in Pyongyang. How great to be elite if you have to live in a home with no electricity or water and then you have to act in the streets. So, top military men, top bureaucrats, top anything, walk around pretending to be - an ordinary person? Great way to keep your best people on your side don't you think. It might be a "hermit society", but common sense should tell you it's rubbish.
@@petergilkes4391 you dont have to be an american to believe or to know something is way off. There is a man who visited NK and posted here in TH-cam. He was in a Train station and there were lots of people walking around, very robotic, coming and going. There were no trains that day before he arrived.
@@lukitasmol10 Well why do you believe that poster? Just because he posted it, it must be true? How is it he was hanging around in a NK station for any length of time to make this discovery?
I get the impression that if a war actually broke out, when the north koreans fire their weapons flags will pop out the end saying "boom" and "pow".
😂😂😂😂😂
Then get rid of that impression, North Korea has nuclear weapons which could destroy many cities. You cannot underestimate them as you did the Vietnamese.
We said that during Vietnam too
Did anyone else notice how the translators exaggerated and low key tampered the translation
Khadijah Aguila yeah I saw that happening
Yeah same
Khadijah Aguila Funny that you expected anything else.It’s been 30 yrs since the iron wall fell down in Europe. Time to learn something about the bloodiest political system in the human history - or stay silent.
I think only someone fluent in korean could say that, we can't take the NYT subtitles translation as the correct one either
@@Ben-dh1kt It's hard to understand the type of Korean they speak in N. Korea since the Korean we all are familiar with is the Korean they speak in S. Korea
This interviewer put so many lives in jeopardy...
ForgingMyWins That trembling boy in the library was almost certainly punished.
I don't know why these journalists even bother going there. Like are they so gullible as to think that they'll get genuine answers?
Such is life.
Rite those kids were looking horrified they were scared to answer
@Darris Hawks I haven't seen ANY evidence for your claim.
That young man around the 18 minute mark, I’d love to give him a hug and let him live how he wants ♥️💔

18:52 that kid isn't nervous that he met Americans or is own camera, he's nervous because he knows if says something wrong he could get himself and his parents thrown into a labor camp.
he looks traumatized. looks like he might wanna say its terrible.
Who knows.. maybe he already lost someone because of other reasons and dont want this happening again.
WRONG! Try him, his parents and his grandparents and then any brother and sisters, aunts, uncles and cousins. When somebody in North Korea commits a crime against the state in North Korea, they punish their family for three generations. It really is a sad world that they live in.
I am worried for the people interviewed. They were born into a country they don’t deserve to live in.
So sad...
He shouldn’t have talked to kids.. I was terrified for them.
I doubt he chose the interview partners
Maybe not but he still could've declined to interview the kids. Not like they could force him.
Because what? They were going to be executed for not saying anything? No they weren't.
Could be kicked out of school , put in a labor camp
@@psychiatry-is-eugenics if they answer wrong yes, but not for saying nothing.
The kid talking about America causing alot of evil in the world and caused many fights betweens nations is actually VERY accurate like it or not.
It may be true but North Korea is evil in its own way as well
Bush did it, NOT ME!
Riiiight, because no other country has free agency to act in their interests
Very accurate, no. Completely false, no. Things are often way more complicated than people like them to be, all I know for sure is that in reference to Korea, the North is just plain wrong with how they teach the history.
It’s very true but Americans love to point fingers and refuse to acknowledge the evils of this country
As a Korean, I just wanted to say that every single interviewee was saying everything they said with very, very clear strain in the way they said everything and no Korean would normally talk the way they did. I recommend watching videos of Kim Jong Un's Korean or the Korean of North Korean escapees. The difference is very, very clear, and goes beyond an accent. Definitely forced under threat of something terrible.
North Korea: has anti American rallies, parades, gatherings, posters and propaganda throughout the nation
USA: *makes memes about North Korea*
Propaganda comes in lots of forms. What we think of them may not be correct, just as how what they think of us clearly is not. The people shouldnt be a reflection of its government.
*You are now banned from r/Pyongyang.*
And what’s sad is that the people in North Korea will never know what a meme is

Someday...
As a South Korean, I’m really upset with how they’re treated, and even worse, knowing that the old Korea was one. No North, no South, I hope we solve this soon.
Same, this may sound weird but I want a war on North Korea. I want them to be liberated and get an idea of freedom
I cannot being to imagine the huge project reintegration will be. Every person in that country... to free them, feed them, shelter them, teach them, unbrainwash them... make them feel safe.. but it will be worth any and all lives saved and made better.
@@caovuonglam You never have experienced the horrors of war on your soil like Russia,Germany,Japan and many more country's did.You dropped Atomic bombs on cities with no military installations killed hundreds of thousands people and many more generations irradiated so what i'm trying to tell you is that if you start a new war with them(N.Korea)you will get burnt real bad,not to mention their alliance with China which is allied to Russia.This is coming from a guy that like the west and NATO,you just like war too much and you leave that countries destroyed afterwards like Iraq so i understand the will they have to defend themselves from Americans
@@TheStormtrooper00 problems with Wars, it's just o great of a number on a very big scale as well Nato basically always looks to us to do something... other then Afghanistan which was 9/11 then moved to iraq
for example 37 wars in history that listed here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_war, these are mostly major wars and not miner wars
these are the wars the u.s. was involved en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_the_United_States we really didn't get invloved in other affairs till the Boxer Rebellion in (1899-1901)
which involved
British Empire United Kingdom
Russia
Japan

United States
Germany
Italy
Austria-Hungary
Iraq war invloved
nvasion phase (2003)
United States
United Kingdom
Australia
Poland
Peshmerga
Supported by:
Canada
Netherlands
Italy
followed by en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-National_Force_%E2%80%93_Iraq
it wasn't just the U.S. although we played the largest role, it was lead by U.S. since they basically had the most troops sent.
as for this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_battles ``for Early 14th century (1301-50)`` there was 290 battles alone in 49 years
this is a chart of people who died in ww2 compared to rest of the wars th-cam.com/video/DwKPFT-RioU/w-d-xo.html and if you skipped ahead to here this how many wars we are in nowadays th-cam.com/video/DwKPFT-RioU/w-d-xo.html
also the Japanese war crimes which they experimented on living people by cutting them open while alive, then you have the China with the Yellow River flood. I recommend watching the whole video
Rae Kyeong I have that idea to maybe they could escape
Hope that boy in the library is still alive!!!
I felt so sad for him and their people. Don’t know why Kim don’t feel how we feel about his own people.
Even though they have worn tidy clothes at Kim’s given orders to face the interviews - they still looked extremely malnourished and shabby. I am sorry for all of them! 😔😔

I've never valued my Freedom of Speech so much in my life until now. I take my freedom of speech for granted but I realize how precious it really is not to be literally frightened to death of what you say at all times.
Joel Sommer dont feel bad for taking it for granted. Only crazy people would try to control what others say. Every human should have free speech. Its a basic human right
You obviously do not live in America. On Jan 6 we learned the extent of our freedom ends when we challenge the corrupt system
Try using free speech about Israel! You'll lose your job at least.
The part where the young teenager us visibly afraid to speak, got to me.
He's probably afraid to say the wrong thing, and have his family enprisoned or killed because of it. This is heart breaking.
Yep.
Got to me as well. Pretty sad.
oh I was thinking the same thing.. he has a fearful look on his face.
Philippe Augustin you got that right. Know what the poor kid looks like? A young hitler youth kid holding a panzerschrek in 1945 Berlin just outside hitler’s bunker.
True. But in many American corporate offices, if you say the wrong thing, you will lose your job, pronto! Everyone lives under a pyramid of power. The DPRK is the most extreme example, but Americans are not as free as they believe they are.
“Whats with the formalities? lets just get on with it.” oh you sure are in a hurry there Mr. Chey, ur only a senior diplomat of the Hierarchy of Kim.

bizarre scene put together
Sometimes desperation outweighs logic. Any relief is welcomed... to end the helpless misery.
it means they don't speak english and clap when others clap. Some official that understands english probably laughed and then the crowd thought it was appropriate to cheer. In that society, if you don't cheer or cry loud enough, you can be punished.

Imagine doing an interview with your life on the line.
They really chose the least intimidating guy in all of America to do interviews 😂
Its sad to see some of them unable to answer questions out of pure fear that they will answer "incorrectly" and be killed or "reeducated"
James Johnson it’s those that speak quickly and of vigor against America and the love they have for their beloved leader, they get perks with such actions. It’s those that hesitate or don’t speak that may have issues. I’m sure those people will be educated.
Sad huh.
That poor school boy is afraid to say ANYTHING!!
Plus, he's probably nervous about being interviewed. Personally, I would have cut out the footage of that interview. Showing it endangers his and his family's social standing, freedom and maybe even their lives.
Dear North Korean people, thinking of you and praying for your freedom.
They are so damaged psychologically, sadly their freedom would need a generation of re education to reality and society. Most of their population doesnt even know what a bank is.
18:35 he can’t comprehend an answer because they are never taught critical thinking. This part here shows how brainwashed everyone is. I hope and pray so much that things can change for them
💯
Don't be so mean, dude. Maybe he's traumatised. Maybe his family are in a concentration camp or something.
20:02 was she about to say "But what if I say something wrong?" She also seemed like she was about to cry
Lindsey M.K. Yea I know I honestly also was about to cry

His mouth said "YES" but his eyes said "NO"!!!
18:44 I feel so bad for the kid. He's so afraid and doesn't know what to say. :(
Even if he was not petrified to give an answer, He has no information to form an opinion. He literally does not have a mind of his own on which to base even conversationally, a response! I dare say he went home crying hoping he did not get his parents into trouble by not knowing what to say!!
Yeah, I feel sorry for the kid too. He is terrified and seems like about to cry. Maybe not to said anything it's better for himself and for his family safety.

All the people look like they are starving. I feel so sorry for them ☹️
They are starving but why they accept such a situation they should do something about it there were many other totalitarian regimes for example in Romania tsaouseskou and they rebelled and they took their lives into their own hands
@@user-yh3mc2ni1m they ban grouping of people, so it’s difficult to plan. Plus they are taught to spy on each other. Is hard to trust some one. If you get caught escaping/ plotting/ or saying something bad about the regime, 3 GENERATIONS OF YOUR FAMILY WILL BE KILLED OR SEND TO THE CAMPS! Those camps are absolute horror. If you want to know more, you can find videos about defectors on YT. They also wrote books about their lives and their escape. “Nothing to Envy” is one of the books I highly recommend.
That’s because they are starving!
But look at Iraq ! America intervention only brought the worst situation and countless deaths to the areas they are interested in !
@@fladeann9348 Well, that's the dilemma. That's why we're heavily relying on South Korea to do a "liberation/unification" because tensions between the US and NK at the moment are extremely stressed. There are multiple countries at once almost pouncing on the koreas for their own motive, like China, Russia, Japan, and the US. However, Iraq is different. They are in an area in general where famine is prevalent and drought is consistent. It could be different with nations like Russia and SK surrounding to potentially help unification. So, who knows what will happen?
"Dear Leader, our friendly father..." OMG, you can't get more deluded than that.
@@creeproot Many of them do believe it. Only the ones who dare to think, don't. Some defectors who make it to South Korea actually return to North Korea because they can't accept that everything they've been taught is a lie...they can't make the mental shift because they've been so indoctrinated.
Alan Dempsey. Yes, I have been thinking the same thing while watching this video.

I noticed the man in brown. He seams to be an agent, monitoring the reporters and letting the ones being interviewed that they are being watched.
Brown-Streak Studios when?
Yes. There are many running loose in America who are also "secretly" watching and judging. Their religion is to "get away with MURDER...then say they've done NOTHING" (Read Jeremiah 5:1-12* and you'll understand why they hate the Bible).
Korean nkvd
Brown-Streak Studios yes, you noticed the man in brown, along with the rest of us, when it was pointed out and shown on film. Until then, he does not appear.
He's a member of the DPRK secret police
I worry for the interviewees who could not automatically supply the "politically correct answer" The camera just kept on rolling showing their fear, it is not surprising that normally north Koreans don't want to be caught on camera. The reporter here could very well have cost some of the people on camera their jobs, their homes, their lives. >:(
The one thing along those lines that kinda stuck out to me was how the interviewer was like "speak frankly". Like yeah, of course, they won't be the ones dealing up with the consequences.
And why are you blaming the cameraman?
Hes not the one pointing the gun. He only has a camera.
The kid was on the verge of crying when he was being interviewed. Come on, let's leave kids alone
I agree stop interviewing children

The struggle on that kids face after the American man just asked what he thought of Americans & what we should know about them...
Just that look at his face said it all and broke my heart....you can see the VERY start of what a brainwashed person looks like...because of people took the time to just watch the facial features can speak LOUDER then words...my heart breaks for them
This makes me sad.. the history of the world. millions of people on all sides that just want to live a normal life but get caught up suffering due to the egos of a handful of men.

"This makes me sad.. the history of the world. millions of people on all sides that just want to live a normal life but get caught up suffering due to the egos of a handful of men."
And those of us who have rejected socialism/communism have managed to live a 'normal life'. Please direct your sadness to those how profess to deliver 'equality' and instead deliver mass murder. 100,000,000 at last count for the 20th century; who knows what they might accomplish next, given the idiots who still try to paint lipstick on the commie pig.
This is really Orwell's 1984.. Amazing this type of country exists..
chris malcomson yeah or the handmaids tale or any sort f dystopia
I feel so sad for that school boy they interviewed he didn't even know what to say or do just looking extremely scared. He was probably scared to say something wrong and have him and his entire family sent to hard labour
He calls Trump an SOB. He sounds like a typical NYT reader.
dam this reporter really want these people to risk their lives for speaking frankly.
The person who said: "feel free to speak frankly" was the minder. Aka the people making sure that reporters only see what the government wants them to see.
They are the elite of North Korea, they know exactly what to say not to get into trouble.
That “what if I...” says a lot
Twisky I know that feeling. It’s the same when you are in an abusive relationship. When you get out and look back, however, you see. But when you see someone go through it-you spot it right away.
This is like real life handsmaid’s tale
I just don't understand why they keep having babies over there
The boy who wants to be a scientist to make h-bomb shooked me.
He said that like he had learned that line word for word 😔
"Answer frankly." Now here is a suggested answer...

Don't forget the creeper in brown ominously pacing back and forth whispering in the interviewees ears
Can we please just take a moment to bless them people who have to stare at them 2 pictures its everywhere id be having nightmares no cap
18:28 Highschool flashback!!! Teacher asks for a forgotten homework paper
The boy's silence to his question was deafening .

These poor people.
That’s what I was thinking the whole time
you mean the US right
How in the world could you say, the US right? Please move to N.K. and go through what these poor people are going through. You think you have it rough in the US, you obviously live in your own little world where it appears you have no feeling for anyone, but yourself. Since this country is so BAD, please leave. Oh, let me guess you are a liberal who says things and then never does anything. EX. Cher, Whoopi, and others that said if Donald Trump got elected they would leave the country. All mouth and no DO.
The man with the brown jacket in the background creeped my out so much, he was checking if people were responding appropriatly
The music that was playing when they were talking about the guy that kept appearing in their shots at the amusement park put my stomach in literal knots =( freaked me tf out fr.
My goodness, they are so afraid to speak to foreigners! Even when they're asked a simple question, they are totally аt a loss!
Poor, poor spooked people...
They have seen public executions. No freedom of speech.
I don't hate the citizens of NK. I just hate the government who rules it. I wish us Canadians could do something to help them :(.
Dont throw your garbage in some countries.
Lee ̊.༄ ❪NeoTheater❫ೃ‧𖤐॰ I’ll help you get your polite hands on them.
Us Canadians do too much to help people from other countries. It's time for us Canadians to help us Canadians.
no offence but ur countrys military would probably lose to them, since u don't have a system guarding ur control like the usa, we have a system that shoots down incoming missles, so kims rockets wouldn't have a chance
Canada has a weak military, we won't be able to defeat the NK government, we'll need the support of the US and, LET'S HOPE CHINA DOESN'T INTERVENE...
I tell you man. The giant balls on journalists that go to places like this and Iraq is just INSANE. It's almost like a time bomb of a death sentence
The editing of the start was so good lol
18:38. That moment when he suddenly realises that he's been asked a question that he hasn't been given the answer to and needs the help of the minders..
this was extremely irresponsible to put lives in jeopardy for the entertainment of free people who have no risk of being killed by their own government.
Too bad for them i guess. They should have declined to speak.
E M S OP doesn’t mean literally.

News stories are educational videos.
I don't know about you, but I am not here to be entertained. I am watching and learning. What is your problem????
Great piece
OMG the little guys reaction to the question at 18:25 says it all ... sad what happens to these people
That kid and his reaction to the question @ 18:16 was the saddest part.
Me, too. He looked on the verge of tears. No telling what happened to him or his family. The reporter should be SO
proud, NOT.
As a Chinese, I kind familiar with that kind of feelings, that is not really fear（to the government） but confused. back to 80s, when I first saw a white man with his weird device (a bigass camera), I was like: mama it is that a human? and my mom told me：yeah ， that is the white ghost.the point is Asia was/is very different from the western ，no to mention a communist state， no multi-ethnic，less political activism，poor，didnt naturally get out of the stage of feudal society，the world hate us/them，but people have the “blindly pride”，the conflict are real
Reggie Johnson I agree. No child should be so terrified to answer a question 🙁.
The problem is this is not a question they practice, it caught them off guard and they didn't know how to answer. The one I want to get my hands on is the old guy in the back ground at the park. He's shows that it not only about brainwashing its about control.
@@toddcraner3843 Thats what I thought. It seems the other people here are complaining about brainwashed people in a brainwashed way.
22:20 that dude that kept walking past was creepy.
Wtf, the first minute totally misleading.
Great editing at the beginning
