Noth Korea's Greatest Show: Marcel Theroux gains rare access inside the secretive nation of North Korea to attend the country's 70th birthday party and see what day to day life is like for North Koreans. The Mass Games focus on reunification with the South and marks a time of change for the country as historic peace talks with the South continue.
Dude. I'm binge watching documentaries dealing with North Korea and they always bring the journalists to the same farms, the same people, the same stores. It's creepy.
same Mr.Ri
Do they only allow tourists in Pyongyang? I have seen 10 different videos on tourists visiting North Korea and so far it has only been in Pyongyang.
@@mishalkhan8151 Almost all of the time they only allow tourists in Pyongyang in the same specific locations everytime. Though I swear I remember seeing a reporter and tourists to go the a ski resort outside of Pyongyang
It all depends on the time of year you travel there. Hell, you can even run a marathon in Pyongyang if you travel there during that part of the season. But the statues, the monuments, the history with the border, the underground metro, etc.. That is all definitely typical stops of the tour. However, and I repeat, depends of what time of year you travel there and they will show you some different things.
That Lieutenant Colonel I've seen in three documentaries this week. I may send, via the Embassy in London, him an Xmas Card.
As a South Korean, It feels like seeing my friends saying 'I'm OK' but I know and they themselves do know that they're not OK at all.
Are you the same people? I mean, do you look at North Korean people and you say "these men and women are part of my people, just forbidden to say so"?
André Emanoel they are one people, but they were separated after the Korean War. Now they have become quite different because of the decades of separation. North Korea is more traditional and sticks to its roots of old Korea. While South Korea is modernised and western, adopting some culture and words from the west. Reunification is still possible tho, it’s not too late
As time drags on it will become harder for reunification to become a reality , without military conquest .
That is extremely sad !
@@Handle0108 Sorry ,I don't believe the leader of North Korea would ever let that happen, he's crazy!
"I have been told that the walls have ears so I am in the balcony."EPIC
*chuckles* I'm in the ceiling
Imagine a question holding so much power it can condemn people to life prison and labor camps. I felt so bad watching people answering the journalist's questions.
"I'm sure you're able to see what is right and wrong" is probably that man tired of being asked questions that risk his life
I think that, that was a typical North Korean guides response. They won't and can't express what they think so you have to read between the lines of what they say. So yes, a visitor can see what is indeed real and what is being put on for show.
ofc he is, none of the ppl in NK want to die to this freakin idiot always asking dumb questions, it's why even the lady wanted to run home.
@@WarauTR LOLL
or maybe he's just tired of a bunch of random white dudes asking the same stupid questions over and over again based on lies and presumptions trying to assert what THEY think is wrong with his country based on their misinformed perspective.

and what would the tourist do ? jump out of the bus ? btw im pretty sure they checked all the footage before the reporter team was allowed to leave the country
Don't endanger the local people by asking questions like "Did a lot of people starve during the famine." Have some tact.
This guy is the only weird person in the whole video...
@@jellyrun1 HA! thank u i agree he's so odd and makes normalcy seem scary for no reason
This journalist comes across as very rude and stupid. Hope those people are not tortured or worse because of his idiotic questions
Just being allowed to interact w/someone "ordinary" is a big deal. And I'm sure the "common folks" you talk to are as drilled on how to respond. As well as dissemble on demand.
There is a tone of exceptionalising North Korea in this doco. Why doesn’t he ask why 40% of people in the USA are living in poverty? Fare to critique NK, but also the west needs to look critically at their own backyard. We too are surrounded by propaganda , it’s called advertising and it’s more subtle.
I hope none of the people who were asked a question by him were arrested and thrown in labor camps. Man, that must be terrifying when you are put on the spot like that.
I'm glad I was not the only one who thought that. My guess is they were forced to enter a re-education camp as were their families.
Pills here I always hate journalist who go there and do that when they already know what can happen to these people. All they care about is getting a story people’s life be dam. If they want to know what the country is really like why don’t they interview people who have escaped from North Korea, there are plenty.
Those who are asked a question were deliberately there for that reason. It was a facade. They were “chosen” to be in that place. It’s all an act.
Precisely. They are just feeding the regime and don't give a shit.
nothing is terrifying dear in North dear, fear is in ur brain, u r under influence what this journalist is saying, he is western like u, don't believe what he says, believe what u see, believe in ur eyes, NORTH is nothing like that what west portrays 110%, we should respect the way of life they chosen? ? ? isn't, no body is perfect
Everyone seems so scared.. Or just lost. I cant explain it.
Phil Derrico both
You can’t explain, they live in a constant fear! You say something wrong, you see something wrong, you wear something wrong, three generations will be send to the labor camp!!
I can explain. Foreign documentarist can get them into trouble. And he is really trying to get some spicy informations about something.
They’re surviving
They’re alive but not living, and speaking but not allowed to say anything. It’s torture.
14:20 I leave up to your judgment and with your own eyes I'm sure you're able to see what is right and wrong. The message is strong!!
Yeah, its the most brilliant non-answer there is.
Every time I heard Marcel ask a question, my heart skipped a beat.
Why?!
@@VOME127 Because the North Koreans can be thrown into labor camps for speaking a wrong answer
i dont know why but everything in that city feels scripted. like nothing is real... btw really nice empty buildings and skyscrapers
The buildings aren’t empty. It’s usually only the upper floors and it’s only on some of the building, because people don’t want to walk up and down 30 flights of stairs when the lift breaks-which it often does.
they are not empty this is the most affluent part of the country
They are probably referring to the huge hotel that's empty !
the country is REAL this british propaganda video is FAKE
OhHi Oh The whole City is Fake. They only allow you to go between two stations but there are 16 stations
The Kim dynasty will fall at some point. His people will get fed up with the harsh treatment and rebel. That's my prediction!
the dynasty is more powerful than the ppl they know how to control
Not to soon i guess
They would probably go to civil war on how brain washed they are on one side everyone who actually believes the propaganda and on the other people who hate kim
I would like to agree, but the citizens are brainwashed from birth, how do they know their leader isn't lying? oof
@@lylasaur6694 they r forced to believe him
12:17 I’ve seen this woman in a another interview and in that interview she did not live there, she lived on a completely diffrent farm somewhere far away recovering from the famine with her son.
Weren't she with her husband aswell?
Oh yes, they were in the Michael Palin’s documentary
I saw that lady in the agriculture field in other videos too... May be she is the spot light for demostrating and representing North Korea Agriculture sector....
How sure are you?
I've seen the soldier that they talked to in a CNN video with will Ripley
Hope I once saw Johnny depp in pirates of the Caribbean and Edward scissorhands, he must be getting paid by the government
That moment in 14:24 when he said "I'm sure you're able to see right from wrong" sounded like a plea for help
It is a life-sized doll town full of smiling dolls for a giant baby monster to play with. 😳
I burst out laughing at 15:16 when the journalists started telling the 'tour guide' about Kim Jong-Un going to school in Switzerland - awkward 😂
It's really sadistic to ask direct questions like that, you know those people arent allowed to answer you, you get them in very difficult situations, if they would answer you honestly they might get into horrendous troubles!
The minder sleeping on the bus. Is probably in a labour camp now
Stan Ogdons stuntman how come
@@wwhyme.. what?
You guys need to stop this stupid fear mongering. I highly doubt doubt that person you mention is in a labor camp. Typical fear propaganda working on you people. Y'all eat it up. Do you have any personal evidence or is this just crap you heard on T.V., radio, or read on a newspaper?
You can’t get personal evidence because you’d be dead 💀 Try going to NK and looking around
@@leeandre7945 You're right. He's probably not in a labor camp. He, along with his entire family, has probably been "purged". They love "The Great Leader". I don't mind. "The Great Leader" can exterminate as many as he wants. I don't mind. It's probably nothing personal.
9:30 “Are people terrified or are they having fun?” sounds great
"ive been told that the walls have ears, and thats why we are on a balcony" im so sorry but that line just sounded so ridiculously funny xD
Fun fact : In 1996, during the famine, NorthKorea "bought" 20 000 tonnes of rice from Vietnam but haven't paid back til now. The outstanding payment is estimated to be $18 mil US in 2007. Since then, there has almost been no trades made between the two country. LMAO
Reminds me of the Kim and Trump summit, Kim Jong Un wants to stay in the president suite of a 5 star hotel of his choice, but has no money to pay for it. And expected the Singapore government to pay for him.
That is normal they are under tougher pressure and sanctions they cannot pay
At least they paid them back.
saokozdozday another fact is they corporate with a company in China to build a factory in PY . When the work was almost done the North Korea government robbed the whole project and chased the Chinese out . Their government is an official robber.
At least he has money to study abroad in Switzerland
real shame that places like this still exist in 2019, no matter how much time passes, humans will just never change. Greed, power, control always the number one motivator.
It's not bad compared to africa , Asia , south America and homeless people in eu and us
@Stealthy Street Rat it still looks better than africa , Asia , and south America
In North Korea there is only one greedy man who controls the country. In capitalist countries such as the US, everyone is greedy, people perceive each other as a competitor on the way up to fulfill their american dream. Where all are fighting for power and control of others. Do you reckon it is better? Real shame that places like the US exists in 2019.
Radek Hurt totally agree mate. Talking about a dictatorship!, No different than the capatalist system I am being made to live in. There is proper gander everywhere ... Our leaders sit down to banquets while people are starving to death. We had live aid in my country - so many years back now. Bob geldoph shouting at the TV for us to donate money. If it wasant for Elton John, Paul macartny, Phill Collins and the likes of , there wouldn't be starving people. No such thing as not enough food to feed everyone. They haven't the MONEY to pay for the food. How stupid is the normal everyday person. It's not bloody rocket science ....how can these people sleep at night....
I think is better than America
Excellent reporting from Marcel and his crew!
Thank you for uploading. The remarks of people interviewed seem to be directed to make a stage.
The country looks incredibly clean and orderly. It's a bit unsettling knowing that the people are living under such fear and tyranny.

10:02 that girl was SCARED! ... the way she was looking at the translator... that was fear.
Actually, it's quite usual that a person not used to speak through a translator keeps looking at the translator instead of the person whom they are talking too.
As a retired US Army officer whom was stationed at the DMZ in South Korea in the mid 90s, I can state the sphincter level always remained high. The Koreans are good people, no matter what side of the border they live on. Hopefully, someday the countries can be rejoined.

200% true mate, these western tells the public false stories, we can see clearly ho North look like, BUT they want to influence what we see and believe,
Yeah, see the part the reporter was simply gushing at the empowerment of bosses and "entrepreneurs" via economic measures to slowly introduce capitalism. World capitalism wants to pry open North Korean and exploit its cheap, and well educated workforce into the same object slavery its reduced the rest of the world! Everyone of these "independent" reporters are capitalist propagandists.
there is NO ''Independent'' reporters in the west, they all have their own agendas, & objectives, If North destroys their Nukes and bow their head like SOUTH, and borrows money from IMF then they will be declared as peaceful, None hostile and Great progressive country lol hahahahahahahahah
@@abduldeay1580 It's looks much cleaner, more culturally rich and happier, than our drug and poverty ridden, trash populated streets - with zero community or culture! But he has to sprinkle this with "one wouldn't imagine there were so and so number going hungry" and why is that, if it is true even? Because capitalism has isolated its trade lines from the rest of world, for their refusal they bend to domination of money capital!
will any of you's go to north korea soon then? or will you all chicken out because our propaganda got to you lol?
Great job ! My another fave reporter Marcel 😍 I've always loved Unreported World videos. ✨
"I've been warned that the walls have ears", so what, they had the room bugged? Also, who warned him? Taking a big risk there.
I think it’s an expression
Everytime someone goes to North Korea you see the same things all the time, no point. Until they stop controlling what people can see and start letting them see the real North Korea, then that would be interesting.
kpopchop this video show big change. I'm glad I hope they reunify and my country backs off. I wish I could visit
kpopchop this is far the best documentary about north korea I’ve ever seen
Probably because they have their own personal guard dog aka Guide in a close distance^^
My thoughts exactly. A documentary where every single video footage is checked before you leave (and erased if not convenient) is NOT a documentary. It ends up being pure propaganda, even if the initial intent is to report.
I've actually seen a video on KZhead where a North Korean journalist (I think he was North Korean although he may have been chinese, I can't remember right now) goes to some smaller North Korean villages and secretly films ppls live there. The children are starving, frail and have light coloured hair bc they're so malnourished. You can see the children picking up scraps of food off the floor and going around where ppl are eating and seeing if any food has fallen on the floor. In fact there were a bunch of North Korean soldiers stationed there and they were eating their measly ration for the day and just ignoring the starving children. They aren't allowed to give them food or acknowledge them. It's a crazy video.
North Korean TV probably flims the 99% of the Korean Countryside, and calls it the US 😂
me ow hahaha they are insane!!
Find on youtube the NK's film about US. That is the craziest thing I've ever seen
I've actually seen an anti-american "ad" from north korea. It was showing what could have been the aftermath of a homeless shelter after a bad blizzard. The Red Cross was there giving out free coffee and the whole "ad" was heavily emphasising "how poor the the Americans are" and how "the Americans used snow to make their coffee because they do not have any water" and said they only drank snow coffee. They try to paint a picture of America as a poor place riddled with poverty that doesnt have anything and a place that's worse than them
Memes Made Good Lol, I saw that too. But I found out later it was actually a parody video.
more homeless people in the usa
"Reunification" means South Korea's unconditional surrender. The applause is mandatory.
"They have guards to guard the door in case americans defect to the north"... Nice joke 😂👍
Joe Trinity there was 1 guy
Touhidul Islam Abir that was really long ago when NK was sorta good.
I know he’s doing what journalists would do - probing and asking questions - but why is he constantly grilling the poor guide? The fact that he speaks that much English shows that the guy is obviously an educated man. Therefore, he must know how messed up his cult-like country is. But he can’t admit to anything, because his own ass is on the line.
How do you know? Based off of what our media tells you? You can make assumptions on someone's country without being a part of it.
@@plaguex1 are you blind? did you watch the whole video? at 14:18 , the guide clearly gave us an obvious clue
Plague the country is fucked up. 300g a day in food rations, labor camps, executions , generation punishment policy....to start.
Sean Lee... You have apparently never met a religious zealot. It is very possible the guide fervently believes everything he says. The people are brainwashed from birth.
Please do not interrupt the psyop. The point is that N. Korea sucks and our countries are greatness.

Hopefully, things will improve and more visuals will be available. But it's not looking probable with the current continous rocket tests.

The part when he goes into the subway system, I've a sneaking suspicion that the public were told to use between the hours of 2pm to 3pm when the international journalists were planning on using it. Just looks so choreographed.
I've been to North Korea and there were plenty of North Koreans in the subway then too. From what I experienced they actually have too little public transport, so naturally the subway would be crowded. (edit): Just think about it. A city with 2,5 million people and only 16 subway stations. It's a bit ridiculous...
@@SMGJohn I think you miss understood me. What I was pointing out was maybe they are all working but must show up for their second job during the day which is showing the outside world that they are all doing fine. Between the hours of X and X when the international press are about the city they have to walk around the streets, look happy and also use the subway to show how wonderful it is. I wouldn't be surprised if they only use it between a certain time of the day when the press are there. Outside of that they walk or take the bus.
US propaganda
you're so incredibly stupid. it really shows the egotistical, selfcentered thinking people in the west are brainwashed to do when you believe that a country would shut down the metro system of their capital and pull thousands of people from work just so that a few western "journalists" can have a better impression. you are so brainwashed into believing all the lies media told you about the dprk that you can't comprehend the possibility that, in fact, you might have been the one indoctrinated from a young age to believe all the heinous lies about socialism, not the people of the dprk you look down upon.

Also no slums...
There are no people staring at their phones, because most people don't have phones, let alone the internet. There are no saging pants because they don't follow the dresscode of the nation. If you think it's so nice there, then go live there.

“See with your own eyes, your own judgment” Make him leave the safe zone then get back to us
You left out hood left sentence, you know what is right and wrong. That’s a profound statement and perhaps an unintentional cry for help
Even though there showing the positive side NK is still a terrible country and is very underdeveloped
Hmm? I think not. I live in Vietnam and I see lots of stuffs in this video is similar to our everyday life here in Vietnam. We didn't mind about these. We live very happily and we feel like nothing is missing. And I thinking life in SK is really similar. Just don't break those laws and you live in happiness
Ghabi FNM underdeveloped???? they get at least an hour of electricity everyday. lol and get to worship a fat crazy hog, when there starving. messed up country.
How do you know just 1 hour a day? Not 0 or 4 hour a day? Starving? They have more rice per capita than south. And it’s only coming from United Nations the US organization the same that carried out most of the US invasions and sanctions that actually killed tens millions of people in the last half century alone.
@@joli2887 "I live in Vietnam" And you're using youtube. North koreans have no acess to internet. You know that right?
Ghabii are you high lmqo its not its modern
this is a great documentary. thank you for posting.
Kim jong un didn't go to a boarding school, it was just a normal Swiss high-school in gumligen. His late brother Kim jong Nam went to the International school of Bern about a mile up the road where I went. I saw the dear leader playing basketball and stuff sometimes when I was at the adjacent skate park. His late brother was really nice actually..
great leader my ass , i can feel it through their voices that it was scripted and planned to say...
They were serious
@ 16:12 The guy in the elevator turns on his smile and turns it off right away. ALMOST like he was told to. Great video!! Cheers!
Good eye!
Dude is obviously goofing around with that goofy smile. I saw no enforcement for him to stop smiling. The door was closing so he was going to stop goofing. Noting more, nothing less.
I'm not going into the politics of North Korea but I must say that NK is beautiful I.e. the culture, the dresses, and the games. I'd love to visit Beautiful North Korea!
Lt. Col. Won is practically in every documentary I've seen of N. Korea.
The ome good thing is zero advertizing.
Its kind of weird to see for me. It looks nice tho...
Advertising is a sign of capitalism. The only thing seen in North Korean is government propaganda.
True
They don't have anything to sell, so...that's why.
The only advertising is that of the leader...and there are a lot of posters with hate about foreigners
Tourism in North Korea has clearly changed significantly in only a matter of years. If you watch the VICE documentary that was filmed around 7 years ago called 'Inside North Korea' It shows Pyongyang as a very different place, filled with run-down derelict buildings and completely empty tourist attractions which give off a very creepy and eerie vibe. The theme park and ski resort are new, clearly trying to cover up the reality of North Korea to tourists. Pyongyang now does not represent or even give some insight into how the rest of the country really is at all.
Wow I never knew you could go inside Juche Tower. And what amazes me is how it lights up like a torch at night.
Why is he after the guide if he gets caught he’ll go to jail these guys are so stupid???
maybe... he isnt lying... maybe.... they dont go to jail....maybe.... we have been lied to by OUR people
OhHi Oh actually u could be right how could we know if we’re lied to?
@@harshangill8130 when you learn the language and visit, you will know... just be aware youll be on the cia watchlist
OhHi Oh how do you know all this???
