IDFA 2015 | Trailer | Under the Sun

International premiere at IDFA 2015

A year in the life of an average North Korean family – is this reality or a propagandist ploy?

I wonder what happened of the family who participated after North Korea learned the film had not depicted them as they had hoped...

I came here from a link on CNN about this documentary. From the snippets on CNN, it pretty much confirms what you would expect with a behind-the-scenes look at a North Korean propaganda film.

i.e. A maniacal government tender shouting things like, _"STOP! You are _*_not_*_ smiling wide enough! Smile and look happy, _*_NOW!!_*_ How many times do I have to tell you!!?? Okay comrades, GET... IT... RIGHT... this time"_, to intimidated citizens.

So where can one rent this online? All great having the trailer but apart from the odd theatre there seems to be no way to watch it.

솔직한 감상은 공포소설이나 악몽이 현실과 중첩되어 있는 곳이라는 느낌.

managed to see it today. People are drilled at young age to believe in complete nonsense. would love to see more footage. Is there more?

[jackal]

Single best visual description of North Korea yet at 1:35.

[blackmonga]

This film is great job!! We will know quite real situation of North Korea. And we should know their real situation to understand their way.

[ryanlesica]

Why can't this government be toppled already?

[alanlo]

Did they push the bus with their hands?

Does anyone care about the wellness of the North Korean who were involved in this film ? I am sure the people who made this film did not care at all. Just imagine what will happen to those individuals who are still living in North Korea. I just hope that no one will get executed for betraying their country.
