Documentaries On North Korea

Hooray for YouTube! Here are two documentaries about North Korea that I recently found, both showing a different view of the country.

Seven Days In North Korea
First up is a 4-part documentary that really shows North Korea in the way that it hopes to be portrayed: a paradise.

There are some comments on YouTube saying that this film doesn't show the real North Korea, but I think it's an interesting view of how the country wants to be seen.  Whether that is reality or not doesn't really pertain to this film, as the journalist is simply being guided around tourist attractions.









North Korea: A Day In The Life
This 3ish-part documentary takes you through a day in the life of a factory worker and her daughter in North Korea.  Part 4 is a bonus montage of North Korean anti-US sentiments.
