Rest in peace Mike Wallace. What a wonderful journalist.

[@anthonymort5202]

What about the supreme leader

[@JillBrewerVideos]

And it’s so much worse today

[@Melange2]

In what way is it worse today? I'm not implying North Korea is in any way satisfactory today and even now they seem to have growing food insecurities. But can today really be worse than the famine years in the 90s?

[@nikomak]

​@@Melange2Kinda? North Korea has continued to isolate itself since the pandemic. It is true that in some respects life in North Korea is better than in the 1990s, but in terms of food there is no significant improvement. Also the fact that Kim Jong Un is focusing more on developing the army makes the situation even worse.

[@olivere5497]

Worse to Amerikan city with gun crime purse snatchers?

[@charlottetimes9803]

Thanks for sharing. I had to end my view of this because it was too inhumane.

[@charlesxavier9978]

It's gotten worse over the last 20yrs. Ppl in the capital are starving now. The shops may look full but items are not for sale. Ppl run to the board to China and sell what they can to get $. The humanitarian aid that comes in, the twist N Korea states to it's ppl is these are reparations from the Americans for their imperialism attacks. There is a real problem with ppl smoking that the Govt has put up signs to discourage ppl from smoking even though their Leaders smoke more than a Russian steel mill.

[@bennnFR]

If this has actually been shot in 2003 I don't know, but I know that during the peak of the famine the regime declared itself open to foreign humanitarian aid which was exceptional, and that aid was followed by a lot of reporters

[@lancelotrivera2112]

This is one of the reasons why North Korea is the most depressing country in the world.

[@Dirtmiy]

The most depressing one is not Korea. The most depressed country is ruled by a small democratic dictator whose last name resembles greenbacks

[@reinaldogarcia70]

So sad 😢

He wasn't hungry with gut on him. His son is the same. They could get those leaders but they need someone to be an enemy.

That's partly how I grew up, and my parents are astonished that I'm letting them die alone.

[@muneeb5721]

This is quite true - as someone who has read a lot of books and watched a lot of documentaries on North Korea. It is not the same anymore - but it was true back when this documentary was aired under Kim-Jong-Il

[@strnglhld]

Still it is bad.

[@zeinbanda6825]

kim jong il is the one who let the famine

[@Headwaters99]

Honestly from reports it appears to be worse. Malnutrition and lack of basic needs are the same as they've always been, but now due to increases in border technology the people are 100% locked inside with no way out. Defection has become physically impossible. Also, due to this lockdown of the border there are no more black markets which has greatly exacerbated the already trifling situation. FREE NORTH KOREA!!!

[@Headwaters99]

If anything it is now worse

It's funny how Wallace criticizes North Koreans for "conformity" when he is desperate for North Korea to conform to capitalism and become just like everywhere else in the world.

[@phonkandchill.mp3]

Sadly we have a former President, being Donald Trump, that believes N. Korea is prosperous and thinks Kim Jong Un is a great leader. And he wants the same thing here in America where he is the supreme leader.

There’s a North Korean woman who is escaped and I forget her name but she’s written many books and she’s on TikTok and KZbin and she’s spoke about the cars of being trafficked at 12 years old

[@strnglhld]

Unfortunately she was exposed as making things up. Yeonmi, right? There are many other defectors who seem to be more truthful

[@nikolajovicic174]

20 years later and DPRK is completely transformed state! Even the foreign reporters now suggest there is virtually no famine anymore. The country has a strong nuclear capabilities and has a strong military industry capable of suppling much bigger nations with the arsenal. The cities have modern buildings, free education programs and one of the prettiest subways is located in Pyongyang. Stunning how they managed to prosper ..

[@firstnamelastname492]

I agree with what you’re saying to an extent but don’t you think you’re exaggerating a little?

[@nikolajovicic174]

@@firstnamelastname492 Exaggerating? What exactly? The DPRK is sanctioned as hard as possible for the past 70 years now, yet they have managed to build everything they did .. Have you seen what the Detroit and California look now? Like a third word country with stores closing all around and shoplifters stealing left and right as state won't prosecute them .. The wealth stratification is horrible, less than 1% is holding 33% wealth of the whole USA

Because that's where all the government's income goes rather than feeding the people and providing them with basic necessities.

[@robertpolanco1973]

Personally, I think that North Korea is a nation that is not really socialist and it has given an example of how it failed unfortunately for decades in historical terms.

Just look to the west on that map how dark China is. We aren't allowed to talk about their atrocities though.

North Korea is an amazing country with a great nation. The journalist's movie may have been biased; he only filmed what impressed him. This is the most subjective reporting.
