Okay so I have developed a slight obsession over the past month, after hearing about the leading South Korean movie director who got kidnapped by the Kim Jong Il so North Koreans could get to enjoy some good (yet highly controlled) movies too. Apparently the bugger has a healthy collection of western movies that are all obviously forbidden over there but that he seems to enjoy quite a lot.
From there I got to discover a set of videos shot by Vice magazine reporter Shane Smith who managed to get in. (check the tea girl episode, its my favorite one :) )
For those who'd like a more academic presentation of the topic, Paul Koontz, ex Netscape mogul, was also lucky enough to get in.
Man, I wish I got to see completely car free roads more often too...
Oh, and this video shows the crazy North Korean of arirang : a 120 000 people coordinated show (thats not the audience..!)
