Inside North Korea - life in the world’s most secretive state

The North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has hailed the “invincible ties” with China during President Xi Jinping's two-day state visit. Ahead of the visit, we were allowed in to North Korea, where we were given a highly-controlled tour of the country. We were offered a rare glimpse of life in the secretive state, but seeing is not always believing.

"I will leave the answer to the audience" something about that almost seems like a cry for help to me

[RotmgCRTY]

He really went up and asked a North Korean if he's ever heard of George Orwell 😭 my guy you are living in one of his books

[whateverwillbe]

"We feel so proud...", said the man with the emptiest eyes, I have ever seen.
It's sad.

You will never get an honest answer from North Korean citizens, government minders are there.

England is in Europe - that's correct. Whats Brexit got to do with it... rolls eyes

When he makes remarks to the people and tries to put them on the spot by asking difficult questions, what is he hoping for? That they slip up? In which case they could end up in a lot of trouble. Presumably he wouldn't want to put these people in danger. Why not ask questions study might actually answer. Ask them about how they spend their free time or about their hopes and dreams. They would probably be more open and it may actually reveal something. If you ask them if they have enough to eat them ofcourse they're going to lie.

'Expressionless faces' - yeah they're called commuters

[jiblazed]

[TheInstitution]

George Orwell... i see what you did there.

[DirectorJK]

See, even North Korea children know more than you. Britain is in Europe they said. Not in European Union they said, but in Europe. You can leave European Union, but you can't leave Europe continent. So the answer is correct and you wrong

[budnerjohn]

The real thing is what they dont show you. Like the bad things. They will try to show good things and fake what really happens.

6:00 after uttering these words, you are lucky to be alive today...

[kennaks]

The way he brought up George Orwell had me

[anthonyrando]

If this man mentions 1984 again I'm going to throw a 1984 book at his face

This presenter is very rude and put those working at the farm in severe danger along with their family
