Life in North Korea (Documentary)



Minutes: 1:23-2:24; 7:00-8:13

* Titled "A State of Mind"
* Made in 2004 by BBC Director, Daniel Gordon
* Follows two young gymnasts and their families to the Mass Games
* Rare insight into North Korean society
* Initially I found clip from a Dutch film (A Day in the Life) but research showed it was straight propaganda (director worked with government on the film) - this felt a bit more accurate in its portrayal of life in NK
