It is cruel, and it is nonsense to ask a question you know they can't answer, and then ask it again. Most north koreans would quickly assimilate into the real world if the regime was over thrown. There would be the militaristic ones would be hard to let live. lol.

alot of things to keep in mind, on the trip you are not aloud to speak to any civilians. only aloud to talk to people that are in or apart of your tour. and in a scenario theyre aloud to talk to them and they said something negative their whole bloodline would be punished not only just the individual.

I have seen a bunch of Documentations about North Korea and one thing that always seems to happen that needs to stop is: The interviewer always asks the citizens those questions that will get them into trouble. You can see it on their faces on just how uncomfortable it is for them, cause they know, if they don't repeat what they were told, they will get into **HUGE** troubles that we might not be able to imagine. Please stop asking the citizens those questions. Maybe leave it at a single one and move on. The citizens are not at fault for this. But they will pay the price if they give the 'wrong' answer, which is what you want to hear, with them saying something positive about 'their enemy'. They cannot answer those questions freely but we keep pressing the issue with every single interview. I think that is wrong.

Will Ripley made a bunch of trips to North Korea over the span of a few years, gaining the trust of his North Korean interlocutors and therefore being allowed increasingly extensive access.

@@WiccanGoddess33 When tRump made the comment he wanted US to respect him the same way NK respects Kim Jong-un. Several of us informed him that wasn't respect, that was fear & that we'd never fear him. Since KZfaq blocks my links, you'll have to Google it. Read Project 2025 & 47. & watch YOU'VE BEEN TRUMPED TOO. How he broke a water pipe to a lady who was almost 90yo b/c she refused to sell him her land for his golf course. For 5yrs she had to buy drinking water & use lake water to bathe & wash dishes. When her neighbor finally discovered what was wrong & paid to have it fixed, tRump sent papers to have him sued for messing around on his golf course land! But as for NK, he's said he's going to put the homeless in camps & make them work. The same kind of "camps" that NK has. All these ppl he's angry at, judges & their families will gi into these "camps" unless he decides to shoot the judges, as he does retired General for TREASON. Pls do your homework, then let me know if you disagree. I grew to dislike tRump back in '89 when he made newspaper articles wanting to execute 5 children btwn the ages of 14-16yo. They're now known as the exonerated 5 & tRump still can't apologize. The one who spent the longest in prison, now has a County Seat in NY. 💙😾😼😻💙

I've liked the documentary, but you could put some effort in the subtitles which are desynchronized. I speak approximative English, and very hard to follow.

I honestly wonder how hard it was after asking those questions to people, to not be like "well, thats actually untrue, and you are being brainwashed" Like I would have bursted because my heart goes out to these people. They don't know how bad they have it, and have been fed lies their entire life. Kudos to CNN for not getting anyone in trouble and trying to be as respectful as possible while asking and answering questions.

Why do journalists repeatedly ask people questions on camera that has severe risks if answered incorrectly. It is seriously negligent, I see it so often.

@Maliceless100 5 ай бұрын

The documentary was simultaneously honest and compelling _(all within the parameters of their government)._ If Kim Jong Un hoped we'd find affection and admiration for North Koreans, he got what he wanted; if CNN hoped to reveal new things about North Korea, it also won. There's a reason Kim Jong Un allows this journalist to keep returning. This report _(or story)_ from Will Ripley is among CNN's best work.

Yeah this is a great summary. Before I say this I want to say that North Korea is probably still a horrible place to live with strict rules and horrible punishments. That being said I thought it was more horrible than this documentary shows. I thought there was barely, if any, entertainment. I thought it focused most of ita energies on production. To see arcades (even though those arcades had ulterior motives), rock climbing, rowing, etc. was surprising. When yhey got out of Pyongyang was more what I expected from the whole country. Even then there were places to dine out. Im not sure how much use these places get without journalists there but the kids didnt seem like they were doing anything out of the norm. Interesting. That is not to say things are fine there its just there is more personal enjoyment in life than I expected.

15:05 "we will liberate south korea" how unbelievably backwards can you be :( north korea and liberty aren't in the same ball park. Not even in the same universe, or multiverse. Whenever i watch these documentaries i often wonder whether these people genuinely believe what they say or if they just say it because they know that if they dont say the right thing then their entire extended family will be shipped of to concentration camps.

Is it a first time when they can ask personal questions to citizens? There are a lot of propaganda in their speech but still it’s the first time I see a format like this. It’s usually hidden cameras.

@annakeye 6 ай бұрын

It's taken a dozen trips there to reach this point. Will Ripley has been playing the long game and all it has shown us is how completely controlled these people are. I suspect the farmer who said she wanted to go to the US probably really wanted to just visit and talk to its citizens about her understanding of them and ask why they want to hurt the people of the DPRK. However she knew the risk she was taking and so rounded off with the usual propaganda. How sad for these people.
