"Everything's expensive if you don't have money"
Evelyn is over spitting facts!

[dethiusa]

She seems like the sweetest most innocent girl. And it’s devastating to know that millions like her are suffering under the whims of a psychopathic ruler.

A few years ago, I spent several months reading as many autobiographies of North Korean defectors as I could get my hands on. Being able to see, even just through a video, the things that I read about feels so surreal. It never stops feeling terrible - not just the poverty of the country, but the intense governmental control over their lives. Imagine being afraid to have a USB in your possession, afraid to watch certain movies, afraid to say the wrong thing in front of the wrong person, afraid of a picture being crooked on the wall. I can't imagine it, and I'm so grateful that I can't. I wish that no one had to understand that kind of fear.

[nervsouly]

I can't forget about that horrible story of a woman, who got sent to labor camp because she chose to save her child out of a burning house over the pictures of the leaders.

2:05 if her house looked similar to this and she even had a phone she'd definitely be among the top 5% wealthiest citizens in the country

Really like how helpful and inquisitive, yet respectful Megan was. She asked the right questions and left the focus with Evelyn. Super sweet!

"Everything is expensive, if you dont have money" ... I totally agree

Funfact, the subway waggons we see in the clip was built in the 50s and 60s for Berlin. They were sold in the 90s and allegedly some of them, even when repainted, still have the skretchings from back then on the windows

That department store scene was straight up 1970's fashions right down to the girl in the sailor suit. The water bucket thing was and wasn't crazy to me. On one hand, I know that a lot of areas have water issues and limited water distribution. One the other hand, this is in their capital. Literally the major city and people have to use a pulley system like in an old well to get water to their apartments. The lack of internal plumbing is mind-blowing taking into account that this is a rich area in North Korea.

[Zultzify]

this just makes me sad, north korean people seem to have rich culture and values, but their government holds them back in every way possible. i hope when im old north korea is a different more moderate country. i dont care about them westernising or allying with america over china, i just care about the quality of life of innocent citizens and their children, they deserve better. my great uncle served in the korean war, i adore him!

[knightartorias]

This is in Pyongyang. The only people allowed to live in the capital are high-up, wealthy members of the party. People in the country do not have access to phones, high end food, night clubs, subways, etc.

[oofbruh]

yes theres a plethora of negatives I could comment about, but the way she perked up about the food has me wondering what kind of food they have there

[terence_k]

These look like Potemkin shops. Its sole purpose is to improve the area’s image to outsiders. The bucket for water transport may be due to electricity shortage, as you need to power the pumps to get water into the houses.

[MoyaBrennan]

I think Evelyn came from a rich family in NK since she could have a phone

[ApexRoyals]

The odds of finding videos outside of the "display" cities like Pyongyang are slim.

[OB.x]

The way she describes the cell phones there, is exactly what inmates have as tablets in current day prison USA.

One thing i noticed, the metro. Very soviet. I.E. they were grand, works of art. Even the crappy stations in Moscow are decked out with art of some kind. Something weird the Soviets did, and I think N. Korea took full inspiration with their metro from the Russia if i'm not mistaken.

[goodcat]

When she said "i dont wanna go back" i feel that..

[siouxempirecoyote]

It was very informative I’ve heard people talk about North Korea but never really seen any thing.

[levislipstick]

i know a chinese pastor who has being going into north korea and helping poor people there for decades. (one time he built a bathhouse at a village where nobody had money and couldnt shower + he also taught them about christ)
