Propaganda - Full North-Korean Documentary

[baddbob]

This is a very mysterious film with a somewhat mysterious background.The claim is that is was smuggled out of North Korea.Others claim is was made to look like a North Korean production.No matter where it came from it sure has an interesting take on Western society.
Caution some graphic content.

Interesting.... I've only watched the first ten minutes. So far an accurate assessment of Western society, regardless of who put it out.

Similar to The Century of Self and The Power of Nightmares by Adam Curtis, a British documentarian.

This is how the rest of the world sees America, the British and Israel. I'm glad they didn't mention Canada which has become a part of this crap.

I found it all quite ironic, tbh. However, the content is certainly an eye opener in regards to the West's behaviour. Good film, if you can accept that the country alleged for it's production is one of the worst as far as propaganda is concerned.

[T Smith]

A cutting critique and brutally honest. But I have to agree with Simonm about the producer.

Thanks for the graphic content warning, BadBob, that is decent of you. I used to watch documentaries all the time and thought nothing about the graphic depictions of violence and mayhem in them. For awhile it may have been ok too as it allows one to know what is going on in the greater world. Once you have the idea, and pictures, there is no need for pictures anymore and it is just shock value or something more unhealthy. It is a shame, because I watch few documentaries these days. Not much new in them anyway.

I also don't think it's of any use to fill your mind with violent and brutal imagery. However, most of the people I know are completely ignorant that such atrocities do happen while they stuff their faces with hamburgers (coming from a smiling pink cow of course, that was only too happy to give you its meat) and also killing all the terrorist in some super violent game... For such cases this shock of reality may be a useful one.

PS: Pretending that violent things do not happen is delusional, but also obsessing about them is not healthy or helpful either...

That was... errrrrrr, a shamefull accurate description to inform just about anybody about whats going on, also made me think of Yuri Bezmenov and subversion tactics to destroy nations, kinda worked pretty well considering what i see around me in the present day.

Probably there never has been another documentary that presents better the reality of this world. It is interesting that it should come from N. Korea. This 1.5 hour of watching is better than doing a complete university course of world politics or history. A five star plus documentary.

I gave up watching this after half an hour. Not because I didn't agree with much of it - in fact most of the comments here sum it up pretty accurately but because there are so many videos posted on Avalon and so little time to watch them! In fact, I have heard a lot of this material before in, as again was mentioned above, Adam Curtis's excellent documentaries and Noam Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent so didn't feel the need to go through it all again. Some horribly painful scenes too.

great documentory, except..
I suggest you dont look at the video (there is loads of horrible imagery...) but just listen to the sound, its all you need.....

This documentary is not of NK origin. Here's a short interview with the director from a few days ago:
