In my Country, our biggest brainwashing and propaganda machine, radio and TV media, says that, the fields shown here, are prison camps, and the villages, dormitories.
—Oh! Let me guess: North Koreans removed them for you to pass!...Just being ironic.
Look: these two videos bring nothing new to me; without having gone there yet, personally, I have been watching these countryside green fields, for quite a while.
—They have a very good farming system! —The point is: my Country does not have any!...

You must have nerves of high tension steel to do this. The north Korean police, and there are lots of them and not always in uniform, will respond on a camera like the european police wil respond if one walking with a gun in his hand on a crowded street. The soundtrack is rather sinister and fit well with the image we have with North Korea. An image that probely will be true. That train is like a time machine. Nevertheless, some day Korea will be one again like Germany.
Thank you for your comments. It was like a time machine. We were filming from a moving train and we had no guides accompanying us so I guess it was easier. It was not possible to move around and film or photograph freely once we got off the train. When we left the country, border officers checked some of our photos and erased some (e.g. showing soldiers). The train stopped for four hours for border check before entering China.
@jpsholland Germany is like a cash cow for the western rulers. Average Germans and thousands of immigrants there have a difficult life. In north Korea if you are unable to work you won't be homeless. you don't have to work shit jobs to pay rents for your tiny room while you are in college. doctors are not going to refuse you if you have preexisting conditions.
Not sure. However, there were lots of unfinished bridges around. We heard some bridges and constructions had been sponsored by the Soviet Union and when it collapsed there was no money to finish them.
What an amazing piece of work. This must have taken guts to do - I note you never see the face of the cameraman, and with good reason. Mesmorizing soundtrack too. Thankyou and congratulations.
6.15 is the old bridge at dandong what is left of it now

In DPRK, even the urban areas look better than what we see when we approach Oporto, Coimbra or Lisbon by train...It´s a fact!
—Who said that we did not have prison camps?—Check it out, again!...

To 133g0: Great vid! And a couple of questions:
Do you travel to the DPRK often?
Is it easy for a Chinese to get a visa to go there? and
What do most Chinese thing of the DPRK?
Thank you.

@63gstone
Thank you.
I really don't go often to the DPRK. At least it seemed Chinese can move more freely without guides.
What do Chinese think of the country - that's a tough one...
Take care.

Nice video felt like a dream.. Korea seems so desolate and grim and the music portrayed it well

@ndog37 It must be the nr.1 dystopia in the world. One would say that the Kim's used 1984 as a manual to build a country...
