If you guys didn't know, a US visitor died in NK the same year that this was recorded, so pretty safe to say those reporters have balls of steel. The name of that guy was Otto. He was captured for 'allegedly' stealing a propaganda poster on the 5th floor of the hotel where he was staying. He went to court, where he had already accepted he had lost his life. He was sentenced to labor works, and freed to the US a year later or so in coma. 6 days upon arrival, he died.

[@CityWhisperer]

@General Guile Excuse you, if he was taken back to the US in coma and nearly dead he was basically killed in NK. Also, they used against him a suspiciously blurred video from a security camera showing a man taking a poster off a wall. In that video you cannot see his face neither anything that could identify him, so it could also had just been a plot against him or just against the US via one of its citizens. He wasn't able to defend himself in court and was treated as a slave under threats. You just need to watch some of the videos of him "declaring" in "court".

I get the feeling that most of these people are aware that they're being caged but are afraid to speak up. Look at the supervisor of the biology class, too afraid to answer the question as to why the internet is restricted. Look at the person who interrupted the kid's interview. He damn well knows that a kid can easily slip up and reveal information, so he did his part as an adult and saved the kid's life. (Yes you'll be executed or put in the camp if you did something terrible, regardless of your age) I hope NK gets freed in my lifetime. Those poor kids are too intelligent but they're being limited due to Pig Kim. SO MUCH YOUNG MINDS WASTED!

The state will allow to him to know what they think he needs to know. He will be able to have enough knowledge to make a good career in North Korea. It is not as if he will ever be able to leave North Korea, so his lack of knowledge compared to researchers in other countries will not be a hindrance to him. In fact, he will likely never even be aware of the fact that the internet exists. Knowledge of and access to the real internet is something that in North Korea is only given to a very select few researchers who can be trusted to know the truth. Unless this boy ever advances to those deep inner circles of the regime, he will remain in ignorance of the outside world.
