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.

Any George Orwell?
I don't remember.
VERY PERSUASIVE.
@@jonathanip7882 He remember...
Clearly not delusional about politicians high on cocaine, acid attacks and hourly stabbings, protected pedophilia in high society at home so he goes to rap about expressionless faces and dead statues on the other side of the world. How does the way they fart affect our day to day life? Sorry but the diversion tactics can only work for so long.
"I will leave the answer to the audience" something about that almost seems like a cry for help to me
I thought that 😂
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
as we all do
"We feel so proud...", said the man with the emptiest eyes, I have ever seen.
It's sad.
Idiot... you know nothing about his life...
This man's expression is pretty alive and natural. Emptiest is your brain.
@@nizzebroid Imagine shilling for the world's heinous dictatorships.
He would be excuted if hadnt said that
@@nizzebroid wait are you chinese?
'Expressionless faces' - yeah they're called commuters
Some people have expressionless faces
DisobedientSpaceWhale bruh
and north koreans...
no. they are called brainwashed
@@j50nmyers72 You Americans literally think that it's okay to spend $3,500 a month on a closet in New York City
U don't get to talk 😂
You will never get an honest answer from North Korean citizens, government minders are there.
Neither do other nations
Another western ashl with his propaganda... These idiots never go saudi or iran and other hard islamic countries an show how bad is the situation. They will never show how bad their Western countries are. Like in America. Nobody is safe. Anyone can take his gun out and massacre people....Go and clean it backyard before looking into someone else. North korea is still doing better even after so much sanction from west. Fk off

England is in Europe - that's correct. Whats Brexit got to do with it... rolls eyes
It was a joke you nitwit. 😅
I think because although they may know of England historically, the host doubts they would've been taught about the people voting to leave a Union based on the Idea of disliking unelected EU bureaucrats.
LoooL, loved that joke
England has always been in Europe - the continent. That was weird - that people would think membership of the EU has anything to do with whether England in Europe. We were in Europe before we joined the then EEC and will be when we leave the EU
It was a Christmas joke Mark.
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.
Exactly
Still living in western dream?
My guess is he hopes for them to not slip up and get into trouble. But if the intention was to get some real answers, he’d have to figure out a way that protects the identity of everyone involved, which I’d imagine, is a lot harder.
Absolutely! Not impressed with the reporting.
Because he's just a troll. But heavily funded troll from a large organization but still a troll
When he asked that guy if he read any George Orwell I knew he wasn't trying to have a serious conversation.
Because where was he expecting that conversation to go?
Really he's just there trolling them. Trying to egg them on knowing it won't go anywhere He's not there to actually get any real information. He's there as a propagandist for one of the Western governments and as a professional troll
Or do you think that Western governments are somehow more honest?
why do i have an endless fascination with this country...

I think because of how secretive it is.
Same

George Orwell... i see what you did there.
@@ricky9051 Many people in the UK DO get involved in politics & people ARE allowed to criticise the royals. And not everybody is brainwashed by the media.
@@ricky9051 Trust me, this is totally true! You can thank the BBC for most of it!
@@ricky9051 The Uk may have one of the worst criminal records... but at least we don't execute people and starve citizens to feed 1 dictator who is already overweight. Our country is no were near the best in the world, but we are completely different than North korea. Also, I would like to ask, have you met any English people? If not I don't really think your point "North Koreans are much happier than English people" Is correct; in actuality its completely invalid as you have no evidence to prove it. Another thing I would like to point out, is how childish it is to use suicide statistics to make yourself seem superior. Suicide is a very serious topic and should be addressed properly. It should not, however be laughed at and exploited, in order to show off how good or bad any country is. referring to your first comment, I would like to point out that the definition of Democracy is as stated: "Democracy is a system of running organizations, businesses, and groups in which each member is entitled to vote and take part in decisions." This again, proves another one of your points is invalid, as since 1918 all members of the uk public have had the right to vote, and many independent businesses are operated throughout the country. Many campaigns exist in the uk that get people involved with the government and politics. For example, most cities allow the youth to take part in a "student youth parliament" allowing them to share their thoughts and issues they face in their community and for them issues to be resolved without judgement. Many of the parties in the country also contribute by setting up their own campaigns to encourage others to vote for them, as they are in need of the publics favour in order to win seats in parliament; again disillusioning your statement that the residents of the U.K do not or, are not allowed of, interacting with their countries politics and that the uk is not a democracy. Before ending this comment, I would like to finish off by mentioning the irony of the statement you made ( " look at yourself who you are before you criticize other countries" ) as after deciphering your last 2 comments, I have come to the conclusion that you instead; not the residents of the u.k; should look at yourself before you make any further judgements about our country, and should do some extensive research if you decide to make more comments like this in the future. Hopefully you are able to comprehend the details of this comment and englighten you on how wrong your comments were towards a nation of almost 67 million citizens.
I was gonna say that. But you commented 3 weeks ago.
The Netherlands is the MOST TAPPED Country in the World !
North Korea gets a Shitload of Sanctions, and then Reporter focusses on how People don't have enough Food there....isn't that quit obvious?
I cannot post anything bad about my work on You Tube or FB, or I will get sanctioned or fired !
My Government will arrest me if I wear the Dutch Flag on my coat, while going to school !
My Government doesn't give a Damn about my work safety, the circumstances I have to work under, and doesn't care we make food , build ect with foreigners who do not understand any western language.
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
It was a joke dude
England is an island not part of Eurasia.
England is an island and still part of Europe. Just as Malta is.
Catch_Me_If_You_Can not a part of mainland europe but still a part of europe...

Or perhaps it's the bad things is what American 'reporters' are desperately seeking. Look at the state of America, not exactly the best position to be criticising anything.
The way he brought up George Orwell had me deadddddd
What a stupid journalist I wonder what he expected those people to answer..
2:50 are they using the little electricity they have to cool down Kim Jong il and Kim il Sung? Who are dead....and in a picture.... This is a new one
it might be an anti dust measure
@@jiblazed Yep, anti-dust. You have to keep their portraits clean
Oh wow! Eagle eyes you have there sir LOL
@Catch_Me_If_You_Can Its more than cringy, its creepy. They really make the citizens worship them as if they're gods. Learning the history of the kim family is part of their education. Imagine Americans learning the family history of our president as part of education and taking tests about how godly he is..gtfoh
Catch_Me_If_You_Can exactly.
If this man mentions 1984 again I'm going to throw a 1984 book at his face
Dude probably hasn't even read it.
This presenter is very rude and put those working at the farm in severe danger along with their family
How? The only reason he was allowed to ask them any questions are they're hand picked to only say the best things about North Korea and his government minder is right there making sure they say only what the regime wants them to say. You will never get a straight answer out of a North Korean because there's always somebody listening.
Agree
Such a biased report.
Uma Chan but they can still slip up with that pressure put on them, do you understand how fucked up the North Korean crime system is even just the fact the reporter questioned them like that could land them in a lot of trouble.
@@helmsylvanian yeah he is, I mean NK is really a lovely place anyone would want to live in, the reporter is just jealous of them, that must be it.
i wonder if kimmy un... goes online and types north korea in youtube :D ..... people calling him the fatest KOREAN AHAHHA
OH MY GOSHHH THATS WHAT IM SAYING 😂😂😂
England is in Europe, Brexit doesn't change basic geography
Government minders face at 7:55 looks as though he is on the verge of tears and doesn't believe anything he is saying. What an awful mess North Korea is!

This feels straight out of The Interview (2014).

husserliana moron* learn how to spell you brat
1:40 lol I see what you did there. George Orwell.
England is in europe
Reporter clearly havent heard of brexit
England is still in europe Even after brexit
this is clearly a propaganda video
He thinks brexit will make England it's own continent.
@@N0n0b0dy yeah, NK is awesome, why don't you go have a trip there, just be careful not to bump against a poster of a great leader or they'll send you to a death camp.
He is a fucking idiot trying to sell lies

Forex/Bitcoin trading is more profitable and a big chance to make more money nowadays.
Forex? I had interest in forex trading and crypto stocks investments but was discouraged by friends and family, I was being ignorant though
I will recommend you to my personal manager Automate my first investment with them was superb and profit was $23,000
That is so huge
i I’m living testimony of automate ,they change my financial status to a better standard
6:13 they have to say they have plenty of food otherwise they gnna get killed
No, that you think. Not for them.
They are very clearly healthy and decently fed. You can tell when people are malnourished - the whole face sinks in on itself and the eyes lose their sparkle. There may still be some malnutrition in NK, but everyone shown in this video has enough.
The irony is they are governed in a style of emperor worship imposed by the Japanese for a Japan that no longer exists.
There's a resemblance, but I'm not aware of any direct inspiration by Japanese emperor worship. It seems more logical to think the Kim cult was inspired by Stalin's cult and later extended to Kim Il-sung's family members.
You couldn’t pay me to go to North Korea. Might step on a bug and get 20 years in a labor camp lol
Damn, this reporter hated North Korea before he even got there.
Loved the literary references of this journalist--from Orwellian maxims to transposing Coleridge's verse--would be good to see Channel 4 continue to encourage this sort of journalistic style.
‘They clearly haven’t heard of brexit’ 😂😂😂😂
England isn't so important, for them anyway. What's the use for them to know about Brexit ? The people in Europe are also ignorant of some importants things in Asia.
of course, England is in Europe still but not in the European Union.
@@mohammadnurealam5874 channel 4 don't want you to think that. The irony of them commenting on Orwell while actively lying to viewers and planting incorrect information into their heads.
Most people dont even know the difference between the EU and europe.
The uk hasn’t left the EU and even if it actually does it would still be part of the European continent.
Sad fact: north Korea citizens believe their leader and past leaders are immortal gods
Sad fact: You really believe anyone believes that. Don’t let the media paint a picture you should be painting yourself. There is truth and then there The Truth
nah, at this point most of them are aware that they are being lied to, particularly the yonger generations
I'm sure not all of them believe that, considering the amount of people who try to escape
They don't notice that the leaders die like everyone else?
How were these guys allowed to do a documentary in North Korea
"Did you ever read any George Orwell?" "I don't remember" "He's Interesting"
@2:05 - 2:15. Reminds me of the days when I was working as a public servant (Government Employee) in Canada. Someone could give a big presentation with big fancy charts or graphs in big bold numbers and everyone in the audience would just nod there heads in agreement without asking any questions.
SirXavior korth korea is heaven for minorities in India
Lol
yet if this is all you know, you make the best of the situation
remember knowledge is power, the more you know, the better off you are
Where can I find the full documentary?
an incredible social experiment that lasts more than 70 years now...
Apparently North Koreans do not want to look happy or sad because they might bring attention to themselves. Just keep a poker face and look stoic and that seems to be the ticket to surviving.
lol at the subway scene, no one smiles in the metro, nowhere in the world

This video was posted 9 months ago. Wasn't inglan still in Europe?
Why is this reuploaded 4 years later?
imagine having to wake up everyday to live a fake life and pretend your happy and perfect
Like working at Disneyland??
It isn't necessarily faking. For some the happiness is probably genuine.
Yes, let's bring democracy to N Korea to be just as wonderful as Iraq, Libya, Syria.
Why no subtitles on what the North Korean interpreter said? Or would this be dangerous?
How are you able to record in North Korea?
North Korean people live to serve their leader and their country. While the western society, the people elect the government officials so that they can serve the people. This is the main difference of the two ideologies.
Do the government officials really serve the people? I don’t think so
Is anything we’ve seen real? “We trust Kim Jung Un”
Oh well life goes on
This documentary is overlandish in his comments about north korea
"making kim jong un happy is priority number one" sorry what? stop putting words in people's mouths
8:00 It's a good thing he didn't forget his lines otherwise it would've sounded awkward
He almost screwed it up, that would've been death penalty
What am I watching in midnight...
Have you even been to my room?
I may sound stupid but what does “circa (year)” mean? I think it means before but I may be wrong.. 😐😐
It means “at around”.
Have y’all noticed North Korea is always gloomy compared to the south?
I mean, take a few looks at the two sides with Google Earth and you’ll see how there’s a drastic difference.
It's very noticeable and that's because of the pollution. Since they're poor, they use coal mining as their main energy source because it's the cheapest...that said, it's the most polluting source.
Pretty sad.
that’s very interesting almost like their emotion and aura it’s so powerful effects even the sky it’s almost like the gods are weeping for them! sounds poetic
Very clean city!
It's a prison
And yet this journalist in every sentence uses phrases that relishes western powers. The sentence that Britain is in Europe is correct regardless of the brexit and as a journalist he should know that.
6:25 Just ask them if they know anyone other than Kim Jong Un whos fat
Can see the UK like this soon
ok, but that sand pit is dope though
Sir, i dont see anyone holding a cellphone
6:45 thrown in camps after interview, 8:00 if he said anything else it's prison camp
They said the most secretive state💀
England is in fact in Europe, it's just the discussion of them leaving the European Union. Which is something totally different from Europe itself.
So which Shakespeare did you re...
“A L L O F T H EM”
Go and do a documentary on Chagos Archipelago and the removal of its native people
I can never find a truly objective commentary on North Korea on YT
Me neither
Not really a documentary, but more of a travel vlog...search up "SAO Documentary" channel on YT. They have videos on North Korea that are very insightful. They are chinese tourist and are able to show a different side to NK that westerners don't see.
Luis R. Thanks!
did i just see two table fans blowing air at the painting of their beloved leader 😮😅
The farmers literally just said “thank you” lol

It breaks my heart 💔
Should they?
its against the law to disrespect a pic of the korean leaders but they cant do jack to us if we are not in north korea so ima post picks of kim but mess it up just for the sake of it
3:47 Does it really matter? England was in Europe 1000 years ago, no matter the EU exists or not. England will be in Europe until the continent drifts enough. That might take more than 1 billion years though.
@2:51 those fans were blowing on that picture ??
They are living 1984!
I think NK are doing just fine. We should worry more about the state of our own countries: the crime rates, weapon deals, shady war agendas, drug use rates, immoralities and so on.
Wtf that is a Berlin train at the start
Reporter doing his bit of negative propaganda. Well done mate.
Leaving the EU doesn't mean leaving Europe. Excellent video otherwise, love continuing to learning about North Korea, pity about the low grade and incorrect statement.
I think it was just a little joke.
He is the ignorant one
WHY DO THE PEOPLE WANT TO DEFECT IF ITS SUCH A GREAT COUNTRY AND HAVE SUCH A GREAT LEADER. 😔
your not that smart, its well documented its a depraived country with not enough food and no freedom
I am 100% sure there are millions right now who want to leave America. There are many reasons for wanting to defect. Just a stupid argument.
"They've clearly never heard of Brexit"...mate Europe was a continent before it was a common market and a political block.
I don't know that funky sand pit looks pretty cool
channel 4 News - Why have you posted the same images that many other news organisations have broadcast over the last few years? Everything you presented in this video. has been shown to us by many other people.
Because that's all he's allowed to show
@@greglastin8469 You miss understand my statement. I have seen many documentaries about North Korea over the years. Most reporters are taken on similar tours of the approved sites. But, the good journalists give some new insight into this country. Curiously, and uncharacteristically, Channel 4's coverage appears lazy and complacent. This report served no purpose. The world already knows this presented image of North Korea.
@I STAN Kim Jong-Un but Can't stand Trump
I expect more from Channel 4. They have produced some insightful political documentaries, and current affairs programmes over the years. But this piece of the north Korea leader was lazy. i am not disputing the content, but the same information have been available on CZcams for many years.
I want some more insight into the political system, and the social infrastructure in North Korea. Pointing the finger at the country enlightens no one.
listen to the hypocrisy: "its people are starving" (as if thats the leaders fault) next sentence "under crippling sanctions" americans are using sanctions against NK and its starving the NK's. (but channel 4 wont condemn america for starving a nation, rather they make it north koreas fault.
The people are starving because all of the food is being given to the military and Kim jong un himself. Sanctions don't cause people to starve, any other country would be just fine food wise.
@@greglastin8469 really? sanctions dont starve people? how about the american backed food embargo against yemen upheld by the saudis that have killed over 40,000 children in 5 years so far?
Maybe if they had a democracy instead of a cruel dictatorship the US and the rest of the world would be willing to trade with them...
Why are most of these mini documentaries not actually informative but instead mocking of the people and place being featured? It’s very unprofessional and revealing of the contempt the reporter feels so all objectivity is lost.
Reporter comes across as condescending and arrogant, why not try to empathize with the people and learn something new?
