https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbIvUQakU74

This BBC documentary gives us a glimpse into the mysterious world of North Korea.This is an issue which seems to be a source of concern to Western countries lately due to North Korea's possession of nuclear weapons and its leader's belligerent attitude towards the west. The documentary is made undercover and gives the British public a perspective as to why North Korea could be a potential threat to England as well as to the rest of the western world showing a militaristic, well armed and brainwashed country who is at the mercy of a power hungry leader not unlike Adolph Hitler.In a typical fashion to many other BBC documentaries, this documentary presents a bold but non-sensationalistic view of the bleak situation in North Korea. It exposes the viewer to North Korea’s oppressive system, the Korean's people's constant state of alert and threat of war, and to Kim, the country’s megalomaniac dictator, who's regime keeps the country in a state of fear, poverty and trepidation. Many Koreans have their human rights violated and end up in concentration camps in the North Korean Gulag system.

Opinion:

The documentary portraits a post Orwellian society which seems to be everybody's enemy. Their isolation, political extremism and eccentric actions makes North Korea into a country that is far removed from the rest of the world and which to a certain extent still doesn't get taken very seriously. The West seems to continue to be more distracted by the threat of Islamic terrorism, which seems more present and boisterous, than by the almost facetious threats of North Korea Kim-Jong-il. North Korea is a country under the grip of a madman and although he seems to have complete control over every aspect of life in that country, it seems almost inevitable that sooner than later his ways will lead to his downfall and that of his system.
