VICE Media founder Shane Smith has been traveling to North Korea for years, including during some of the most acrimonious periods in its history. Back in 2018, the country was on a charm offensive and appeared to be slowly emerging from its isolation.
In the wake of a series of inter-Korean summits and the first ever DPRK-U.S. summit, Smith returns to the Korean peninsula to see how Seoul and Pyongyang are reacting to the new détente.

Not brainwashed, taking part in a parade is a very high honor these people train very hard and hold these experiences as a source of national and personal pride.

I am shocked Shane went back after the first documentary. They could have easily sent him to the gulag as the first one could have been considered disrespectful to the regime.
I don't think they would really imprison an American journalist at this point. If this was 20 years ago than that would be different but a lot has been happening and relations with North Korea has improved, I don't think they would want to risk that.
They probably would if Kim Jong-il was still the Supreme Leader of North Korea.
Dont get fooled,he was asking for approval to enter again,he wouldnt go if he knew they wanted him in prison
Don't be shocked, this was obviously allowed because he had state officials with them and it is a propaganda doc, not like the way they used to do things at vice. HBO is in control of VICE now

The way they march is somehow simultaneously goofy and impressive.

Hell ya

I was shocked by the interview of civilians in Pyongyang that they`re open for relations with the US and the west, this plays a huge part and might actually be the best thing for the development of the nation.
I'll be honest they don't have much choice in what they say. The tour guide was staring them down as they spoke and even if the tour guide wasn't there, showing your face on camera and having any opinion against the government in north Korea is basically asking to be killed
I was shocked that he was allowed to interview the civilians in Pyongyang, in the first place 😮. Then again; those two were probably staged, as a part of the tour. I doubt that the minder would have allowed Shane to interview them, if they were just random civilians. Who knows, how many civilians he tried to interview, but was stopped by his minder. 🤔

@@hughrealman50 We know from their constant failed tests, they can't do anything right.

I am quite shocked they were able to interview normal civilians.
They interviewed them in peyongyang so they are the "elite" upper class society. They didn't just interview regular Schmegular country side starving people
Or maybe its because NK is not as fucked up as the western media wants us to think?

@@asherjackson4504 Its not like theres a global pandemic happening or anything
@@vibemauster3176 if anything , North Korea was one of the better off countries when the pandemic spread world wide as they do not have open borders and heavily monitor who goes in and out of the country . them being secluded from the rest of the world actually worked in their favor in terms of a global pandemic virus spreading into their country . they should've only had minimal impact in terms of virus statistics and they would've had a huge advantage in stopping the spread if done right . then again it only takes 1 to start the virus spread so how they handled it would greatly determine how well they ended up doing against the virus .

Lowkey, I'm not from US but legit North Korea would get flamed like hell. Basically North Korea doesn't stand a chance with their equipment right now.

The issue with a war with North Korea is not the military feasibility of it. The United States would steamroll North Korea in an invasion, as they did in Iraq and against the Taliban. Like those conflicts, however, the tricky part is what happens after the invasion. North Korea is a hermit kingdom, detached from the world. The US would have an incredibly difficult time rebuilding the country and fighting extremists elements that would retreat into the very mountainous countryside. I have no doubts that the Country would be in a VERY volatile situation in the aftermath of such a conflict- it might not even be worth it for the south to integrate the North with how insanely undeveloped it is in comparison.

Maybe North Korea is finally opening-up albeit very weirdly
being a billionaire now probably has something to do with it
I think they're confident. They also figured that vice works very closely with the state department which, under a trump presidency, means that you get a pro-diplomacy and optimistic piece from them.
That shit was awesome. Thats the type of things vice needs to go back to. Not fuckin nipple piercings and lochness monster hunting

That's not funny
@@rottenrobbie8466 True, decades long Western sanctions killed a million innocent N. Koreans in famine & starvation in the past already. It's all come down to the West's dependency on China's Rare Earth Minerals. North Korea is targeted by the Imperialist West all because it possesses the second largest deposits of 'Rare Earth Metals' in the world; worths several Trillion Dollars. These very rare 'Rare Earth Metals', are essential ingredients in modern electronic equipment. They are found largely in places like China & N. Korea, which held three quarters of world's rare earth reserves. Remember, twenty years ago, it was Iraq, and Saddam, and WMD (weapon of mass destruction). The real motive was Oil. Today, it is North Korea, and Kim, and nuclear weapons. The real motive is Rare Earth Minerals. Same old lame old Colonialist-turned Capitalist Imperialist trick.
@@rottenrobbie8466 so a ruthless dictator that threatens everyone with nuclear apocalypse shouldn't at least be sanctioned? This is ALL on Kim Jong Un. As soon as his top dogs give up power then the North Korean people will get all the help they could ever need and then some.
@@rottenrobbie8466 'Those Who Do Not Learn History Are Doomed To Repeat It'. Remember, Germany in the pre-World War II era, was imposed upon with numerous and heavy war reparations, tariffs and sanctions by Western Colonial Powers for over a quarter century; eventually when that nation sank into mega depression, which made way for World War II, as Germany struck back. A similar scenario ran in Japan, when that nation too was bullied by maritime sanction; essentially blocking the whole island through naval blockade by Anglo Western naval ships for so long until Japan ran out of (imported) oil, and struck back at Pearl Harbor naval base that participated in year-long sanctions. People of North Korea have suffered long enough, half a century of sanctions by the bully West, resulting in the death of over a million innocent people due to starvation & famine.
@@olefella7561 The difference is that the people of Germany were upset and could elect a new leader and form new parties North Korea doesn't have that. It's kinda silly to even compare them, though I do get where you're coming from.
why can't North and South Korea just have a dance off and be done with it already
North Korea can't afford dance mats or to feed it's dancers.

How tf did Vice manage to finesse North Korea into letting them back in again after the entire documentary they made years ago, with the same exact reporter no less lmfao

That had to be the least threatening military march I've ever seen...
They might as well do jumping jacks in unison 🤣
never heard a more North Korean sentence than, "Don't step on the floors," from that tour guide.
I hope that the guide and his family weren’t punished for his honesty and choice to disclose information. While it might be for our entertainment or intrigue because this nation is so divisive and controversial... the truth is that three entire generations of a family could be brutally murdered for speaking out in a way the regime doesn’t like. I enjoyed this piece by Vice news but I hope we take into consideration the dangerous position we could be putting North Koreans in who are simply trying to survive each day.
yea I thought the same. I mean we understand what this country does to these people it is incredibly selfish to put them in danger like this when they share information.

It’s replication of the decadent western liberal model? They’d probably be thrilled.
They would think it is too western and lack culture
"I put my own water into the magic water" LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I really wonder what the guide was thinking after Shane was talking about how re-unification would make the military less important. He looked at the poster in silence for a second and seemed to be pondering what Shane had said, I wish he had been able to communicate his thoughts on that.
He kinda did a few steps along the corridor.
He was thinking about how to not get his head off
He honestly didn't seem proud of the military, I think he truly craves peace. Sad he's stuck and can't voice his thoughts...
After all the hostilities, to them, reunification seems like a fantasy. Maybe one day, for their future generations, they think it is possible
Probably was watching what he said, he’s on camera and his superiors would’ve seen.
This is such an interesting piece by VICE. I rarely see actual interviews with North Korean people discussing international politics, great work!

Holy shit the photography! Give the camera man a raise.
It's not entirely the cameraman. In North Korea photos or videos of specific landmarks have to be done a certain way, your micromanaged by your NK travel host on exactly where you can stand and how much you are allowed to photograph. A statue for instance would have to filmed in it's entirety, absolutely no cropping allowed, you either get the whole statue or you don't photograph it.
Watching this literally gives me anxiety knowing that Shane is there after saying he'd never go back due to the previous trips he had taken, including the Siberian forest labor camp trip.
