North Korea Themepark 1984 Part 4 of 7

Themepark 1984 is a documentary of North Korea. It takes an evolutionary view of the sad subject, and lightens it with dark and polemic humor. It was filmed during the 60th birthday of the Democratic Republic of Korea in September 2008. The film visits Pyongyang, the radio active spa hotel, Sinchan massacre museum with the worst anti-US propaganda ever seen, a themepark, the DMZ, and the massive Arirang stadium. It also reviews the North Korean ideologies and its "Great Leaders". Actual propaganda films were acquired from North Korea, and some footage is included in the documentary. The film is a travel documentary, informative documentary (e.g., food crisis and collapsed economy) and a humorous critique through the eyes of a Westerner (e.g, examining the Juche ideology). Beware: contains polemic ideas, and thought crimes

Dear humanpixels,

The soundtrack to this film is pretty awesome, especially the drum and bass tunes, is there anywhere I could get hold of it?

@joannegerber I don't even like Norman Finkelstein as he comes across as an extremist of another sort, but I'm more with the leftist Israeli thinkers such as Idith Zertal and Professor Shewach Weiss. I think that the statement should have been more rigorous as now people are making their own intepretation of what it means, not what it meant. Actually you did not get that crazy was for the Palestinians not Jews. Next documentary will be more rigorous in terms of wording.

Regarding the settlers, I'm with you there. I hope they are removed like the ones from Gaza. That's a policy of Israel's that gets me angry.

I did get that "crazy" referred to the Palestinians. That also puzzled me. But I think that the statement that the Zionists use the Holocaust to oppress the Palestinians is the kind of distorted non-thinking that this documentary is otherwise criticizing.

this part of the documentary the narrator becomes a douche bag
