"A jaw-dropping glimpse of everyday life in the North Korean capital of Pyongyang: Zin-Mi is an adorable 8-year-old girl, who, as she prepares to joing the pretigious Children's Union, participates in colorful, joyous patriotic school pageants, eats delicious evening meals at her family's well-appointed apartment, and is doted on by her attractive parents who work in model factories that regularly exceed their production targets. Sounds too good to be true? Of course it is. Russian director Vitaly Mansky reveals the fraud behind the "documentary." Government handlers script the family's conversations (are they even her parent? could this possible be their home?), constantly demanding re-takes infused with greater joy and patriotic zeal.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

MUST SEE DOCUMENTARY ABOUT NORTH KOREA., CENSORED BY THE BRUTAL REGIME submitted by Tassos on February 18, 2023, 3:29pm Eye-opening documentary. No matter how much you know about N Korea, and despite the fact this was heavily censored, it is still a documentary that shows how children lose their childhoods, even the very privileged ones chosen to be shown here. (I am watching it now, about 10 minutes into it)

IT is a MUST SEE Documentary.

It is a real life "1984"!
