At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

The maker of this "documentary" spends pretty much the whole time he is in North Korea, trying to undermine his host nation. He is doing what he is genetically hardwired to do: Infiltrate a nation; then destroy it from within. Termites would be a good example. So would a common parasite - they attach themselves to a host; and then eventually destroy the host before the host can destroy the parasite. So anyway; avoid this film at all costs. Cheers

This was the best documentary that I have ever watched on North Korea. The narrator is unbiased and gives the viewer a very realistic view of the DPRK. Most current information on the DPRK is generally western-produced, biased and in many cases, uneducated. This film avoids many of these problems by being independently produced, and filmed by a person who was very unbiased when enter I g the country. There is very little interaction with the local population which may seem disappointing, but it shows the amount of secrecy in the country (as noted in the title North Korea is "land of whispers"). The film accomplishes a lot in its short one hour run time, such as giving a brief history of the nation, local views and a totally North Korean experience. Overall I would rate this the best Documentary on North Korea and possibly the best documentary in general. 10/10
