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.

Remains of a bombed out bridge? @ 6:15

@XL290

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.

@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.

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!...

[jsnovais1000]

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!...
