Amazing footage Thanks for posting it. But the more i read about North Korea, the more utterly gobsmacked i become. Read 'Nothing To Envy: Real Lives in North Korea', if you haven't.

@1FatSpaz ... cheers for the book selection. i'll look for in on my kindle and give it a read. having already gone there, it will make it all the more interesting.

[johnnylawrence123456]

@1FatSpaz ...ok just bought the book. thx again

[1FatSpaz]

@johnnylawrence123456 Aha cool, it's amazing.

[johnnylawrence123456]

@1FatSpaz finished the book. interesting...especially that fact that she focused on the northern part and not pyongyang where everything is staged for visitors. i have no interest in going back unless tourism opens in other parts of the country where we can see the "real" dprk. thanks again.. ahhh.. nothing to envy compelled me buy north of the dmz which i will start reading today!!!!!

Watch "A STATE OF MIND" to get a better understanding of a young person living as a gymnast in Korea and training for the Mass Games.

[johnnylawrence123456]

@misssilvya do they have the book version? thx

[misssilvya]

@johnnylawrence123456 as far as I remember they don't because in the movie they take two gymnasts and follow their everyday routine for the weeks before the mass games. I think in the movie they(BBC is one of the collab.) are trying to show how hard and deceptive the gymnasts life is... I think its a quite subjective the movie, but I'll let you watch it .. :)

[misssilvya]

It might be sad to watch these many children... but I don't know what's sicker... to let my child be trained in discipline or to let my child to be part of the future European/ American IDIOCRACY ??

How was this filmed if foreigners are not allowed in the country and there is no internet access?

[tommyrrp]

@Rockiinangie foreigners are allowed. Although you'll always be guided by officials everywhere you go.

[jonano2]

This is good, one day they will launch someone on the moon. I believe in them. And maybe when they put someone in cryonics and revive it, they might go to another solar system.

[thehetre]

[51516]

So friggin sad. When will the world free these slaves?

[johnnylawrence123456]

@51516 . i agree. but till then, if we can go there to see the culture as it is, it's worth while. end of the day, the games will happen with or without tourism.
