days. i witnessed many dramatic situations and was hoping to get him to substitute on that or this was the 1st be challenge by it came from one's youngest sister came jo joan on north korean television when she spoke about her brother's recovery from cove it many in the audience went, well, hello, listen, lindsay, hello, soon as i didn't do any also send you the total pension, it'll be a piece. so she'll those with terrible moments when i was unable to help our great leader who put on wants to do more session and most of we posted, you have to confront the crisis alone who missing a times distraught and despairing, which is awesome. going through. these are so some of the to do what came you, joan is deputy director of the propaganda administrative. not a pop to her brother. she's widely regarded as the countries number to leader. since 1948, 3 generations of the came family of rule, the democratic people's report, blick up north korea without absolute pow wow,

good hill. cynita the under the, to the stairs. what, what are you talking about? almost korea doesn't have a monkey and you'll get us with doesn't have a royal family quote to me. instead, me like trace the lineage pack your what, like cold the mount back to that line, you go to look a symbolism. don't wait in the kind of more than one video, then that's when you're now back is a place of pilgrimage. football team members in north koreans covered to so many of you so much and such similar to stuff gets revere. that's the place where kim il

sung, stand with it, and that the resistance against japanese occupation is also regarded as the birthplace of kimmy john hill. you'll get a, someone just to lift this. i'm going to go to the question you saw here for you. she's due for the power meal. so and kim jong hill, things were going to the site right now, as is this mountain, it's similar to what leslie had to manage the christians. getting this founding miss help secure the kim families hold on power, which is not quite as secure as it would be. under a monica. the domestic dictatorship had to create its own cult of personality and, or doroty the schools to, to, to include those who the so so need to,

to the, to the you to money owe it to the propaganda message was repeated in chinese, japanese spanish and english. a move intended to suggest the north koreans that its leaders were also reviewed abroad, the climbing back to the sacred revolution of the mountain. jim, it was 77, deep in motion. whenever i climbed mount packed are i think of camry jimmy, don't you to mount back to it as best placed on the trailing whately and richard his courage mount back to it's jim junior's mountain at the same time. s being jim in a sense mountain, the owners of

the entire family stand united at the helm of north korea, kim il sung, and his sons came. joan ill on the present and unforgotten giant marvels of them. what even installed on the stage of the supreme people's assembly every decision made by came john own and his sister just came jo jones, i was an extension of the dentist do that as role the country for well over half a century on your to do this all the tennessee began with came also do a 1948 became the leader and founding father of north korea. in the

19 sixty's, a call to personality a matched which then to dictate to an almost god like status to this day came l. so is still regarded as supposed to bring him added tunnel, the leader of north korea. in 1994, the sun came, joan ill assumed power. according to legend, he was born on mount peck too, and was possessed of a powerful intellect and accomplishments. the camry, jim juno is an outstanding philosopher, statesman,

and leader. but most of tile talents and capabilities is not only the greatest ideological written seal, read the genius of the present time is the greatest man schumann history has ever produced. the greatest a man who is a boost in all the change on ill died in 2011. his youngest son, 27 year old king joan own, became his successor. at the time he was a complete unknown and north korea and abroad. but kim jong il had already paid the way by making strategic appointments to key positions before his death. the

as well as the you have the tools and acquisition off. he was very young, senior with the internet society in which seniority was extremely important. lots of that was a problem for him. the 1st is guns and the others also glad you to tier, to counteract at that by dressing very conservatively. um, if we try to model himself on his grandfather in appearance, you know as a young man that lent him some authority 2 more months cuz they are the . so the more we send it up to, to charleston that i'm not on that. a full lender. nobody knew him, so suddenly he pay it. he looked a lot like email, so i don't even know if he's lost cuz who is that, or is that a candidate though? that's every public, a parent doing kim jong. he's like his grandfather and spoke like him to talk to

him. no, i'm gonna go to live over there. get a minute just a minute to get down to go with you. in a demonstration of power came jump on, dismissed, a number of functionaries. ready ready and ordered the arrest of his influential uncle james some tax. in december 2013, his uncle was executed for an edge to corruption. even the north korean press, domestic coverage was perennially slanted to the positive reported on james execution. the king john succeeded. is his father. you know, he's a young man, we had information that he had gone to school in switzerland. we thought maybe this

is a more cosmic politan, say gear, who understand the international community. maybe he wanted better relations with the world. we were wrong. it turns out kim jung on is the most aggressive of the 3 kids, came jump on, installed his closest confidence at the center of pilot. above all, his sister came jo jones. the 2 of them had attended school together in switzerland and forged the relationship of unconditional trust. the board and vacation saw that if anything were to happen to came john own, his sister would be his successor. ensuring that the kim family would retain its hold on power the

can't even give obesity the commutable one for the sale in north korea. there are 2 levels of legislation. today's, 1st of all, we have a constitution. bunch of populated states that north korea is a republican with general and secret election hungry on kind of the 2nd level is the parties that you choose. they state that the party leadership is hereditary samouce, and each generation comes from the camp family, tiny little coat one to cut off. so the party is based on the ideology of kim il sung, and kim jong is, is supposed to work on behalf of they're interested in well, and not the interests of the north korean people time group. i want you to kind of

time to go from both of the parties, statute clearly outbreaks. the constitution would be done. anyone who joins the party in north korea must swear to sacrifice everything to ensure that the regime is preserved from one generation to the next 2 years in an easy. so if you go to it, so more than go through a punch job. oh, i mean that's how the north korean system works is kind of in a cool once you get it. so across the similar to and i don't waste the north koreans out as part of the regime. but obviously it's a legions to the content as d on the law. day in and day out north to reinstate television, broadcast propaganda, images of a happy and prosperous people on the. but the reality is more complex. the,

according to united nations reports in north koreans are obligated to keep watch over the neighbors and denounce any misbehavior. this network of mutual surveillance is intended to maintain control over the population and preserve an image of national pride and contentment the the task. they create unit to 5 families, monitor each of a ship set the above task payment on the unit of $60.00 families in pens cause a mandatory edited every admin, bottom as a unit tab,

you should always know what's happening in every household. most people in the comes in and that us has templates for 2 minutes, just going in and system and people look at the system of surveillance was created 75 years ago, which attempt is evolved into a true system, entire arguments all composite, which is typically wouldn't go still the, there's no civil society, there's nothing on which, for example, and universities or religion or all the areas where we, we often see revolution get going. the north korea government says shut all of that down. the freedom of phones is not permitted in north korea. colleagues,

neighbors and even family members can turn on one another. according to radio reports, one young man was sentenced to death for smuggling. the south korean t. v series squeeze came into the country. he had been denounced by his parents. most people have no internet access and comp make international phone calls, the kind of jobs you got, cut them. no, we don't. we don't use as yet. i'm going to, i'm in, in north korea it's, it's not just the convicted person who was punished, but the entire family, which is a, you'll be diesel telescope. a son is shot for a crime against the fatherland. his parents, siblings, and even fellow students can be punished and discriminated against, believe me about the tool or button you're not, i mean, okay. so what does have them do to give them you know,

anyone who would be prepared to sacrifice their own life or freedom and democracy really thinks twice before doing anything, solve or call, and i will have that are not doing no, they're also putting their entire family at risk from the p e. that's why the north koreans don't worry about the quote you'll order. you'll know this is how the system maintains the status quotes. you can continue to jump in with you. if you are someone who desperately wants to free your people in north korea, maybe if it's just you, you would say, i'm willing to die for that to free my country. but are you willing to kill your grandparents and your children and your aunts and uncles? so that's the terrible, terrible way of control that the regime has over its people. you've done the chickens under the federal pendant. they know, as soon as anyone is seen as a threat to their executed job on congress without an investigation on a trial or a judge. yeah, i don't know that about like,

the same as you. that's why came john own was able to order the execution of his uncle with the jung songs tackle and his half brother to his half brother kim jong was murdered in 2017 at the airport in malaysia. so is it for the eyes of the entire world? we met in front of a surveillance camera mobilized at us because the other opponents end up in labor and re education camps. international organizations estimate there are about 20 such camps in the country. according to the handful of survivors who were able to escape conditions in the caps, re, i think most of the prisoners die of torture or hunger for as a result of forced labor. it's estimated that between 100200000 opponents of the regime are currently incarcerated. simons have also kills millions of north koreans most during the 19 eighties and

1990 is. statistics like these cars made north korea one of the most brutal dictatorships in the world, the, the old of all have under the tunnel. when i arrived in south korea, i heard something i didn't understand called the national committee for human rights. so i asked what it was. no, they were surprised and asked me don't, you know, it's an organization that protects our rights as human beings. the i as to why do we need an organization like that? they replied, it's normal. isn't there something like that in north korea because the

they didn't understand the ward complaint and every woman dot we asked the word like 60 women. they didn't understand the work, the words complained and so we had to really explain them in different boards. what it means and they said that, yeah, you can't. you cannot complain that women's union will complain against you, that you didn't submit enough cortez. so for them complained goes only one way the government can punish or to somehow criticize for not fulfilling certain duties that were they had such as bringing enough coal tests, but they don't have complaints. so they don't understand that in normal country citizens have a right to complain. ready ready ready ready ready ready ready

ready ready to north korean capital kiln yang is home to about 3000000 people. ready the city lines on the tab on river, which is used as a source of hydro power and irrigation. the city center is a testament to the power of the king, tennessee. the defense ministry recalls north korea's great victories. the center of power is to come to some palace optis on the official military parades are held in. it's full cost that you che, tower lies on the other side of the river to j is the official ideology of the

north korean regime and means and we'll talk a little self reliance is unofficially represents the cult of personality surrounding that came tennessee, which is also called key msm. in recent years, young gang has been transforming itself public transportation, which includes subways, bosses and st. cause is being expanded. not long ago, a swimming pool opened. george going your way, you know, things have to go to and serious. so since he took office i control home that's for come to mind me on the selection when it comes to try should have nuclear weapons and took off with tons. he also invested a sizable portion of the military, bunch of employment and the private sector being gumple. this expanded the like manufacturing. second time the jungle became jo. issues with us from give tiller put down your service in life in the capital has also

changed the city look small west and now but the strict rules of the regime continue to hold sway these days more and more north koreans own a smartphone, but they can't be used for international calls. it's only a few hours off emitted which have to be personally approved by came jones on himself. the more people also call nowadays on sundays the traffic is bulky on yang, on usually heavy small and so of individual ality all taking hold in closing and fashion new buildings sprouting up oil changes intended to signal normality and modernity to the outside. well

it's kind of my argument, our phones are just as living and not based on my own. observe ations. i can see that over the past 30 years and from life in north korea has an approved significantly and usually even for ordinary people, pass along is of course the baseline was very low. the, the things have definitely improve edison thought i saw of the people today have more options when it comes to consumption. swift and guns and that includes things like moving moods, transportation near long uh the country has modernized long parts. although it is important to note the p on yang is not the typical of north korea as a whole mission. north korea is as if you on yang is a level of love the rest of the country, people in that respect and the rest is on this i'll, i've traveled across north korea and seem that things have improved everywhere for the p on yang stand out because that's with the elite to live is on this, and of course the leadership needs the support of a lead to maintain political stability and just some push to lead the fee of a police officer stuff or do paid like, i mean, i'm a product, i'm just putting in

a survey of north korean to flip the country, it seems the dump countryman, digital that shows that i clearly prefer control home to his fault and that it can go into cooking people. that can do much, but i feel more of a connection to him. this time i can see that he improve this time that of life uh to do a huge amount of years. so they're making john hill the only kid about the military . when putty, k. o, jim jones, well as liver lies to promote to the market, it to god you know, such and get them was, that's why they pinball hope on have to jo and when you and then so little cause i'm on the printer so. so if i selected, so i'm assuming that he can you tell me about done and don't wanna do so, question though, by then to dig, i'm gonna support the whole for the, the be on national television. the regimes propaganda machine offers a steady flow of evidence of progress in the country on every tv channel for news

concepts and describes the opening of factories and buildings and cutting symbols any time to the city's new bosses also get the fashion of attention. yes, when you came, jo, loan even made a personal appearance to inspect them. let me pull the camera up to you so you're going to go to be cited. wouldn't you need to get you get closer to the noble determination of the policy and that you love. so the people has scaled a different reality quote, he pointed to that goes with the to me cuz she got so little is hand on the north korean media has definitely become more modern hot in, into and you from doing it though, isn't gonna commit you to throw so fast to cuts, make television shows look much livelier than before the little talk you gave agent some because all those together on the instead of just one tv channel,

there are now for you to view is can choose between different shows which helps land greater credibility to the programming and even the country is most famous and it has been swept top in the winds of change when you cut them to choose the kids all will come read. kim jones stood for a commemorative photo with the workers of korean television was and it's a pause and then what's the point that evolved since the 19 seventy's 32, he has presented the country's most important news. torres, are you on service showing that you don't have jobs for me? it was the we will fight against the enemy to go. you did tell them that you were potentate on everything from nuclear missile tests, to the meeting between kim jones on the tv stations, employees 3 to him, he was set to be his favorite news presenter.

a few days later came joan own presided over the you know, the ration ceremony for a new residential district. the dictator himself gave a reach him, he a key to a new luxurious residence. it was a reward for her loyalty to the regime. but as part of a wave of modernization for each one he was slated to be replaced by a young calling. you only get 7 know each for each that of adult on the day you didn't or him, john own himself told the there was nothing more valuable than such a loyal worker who's been working in the media for 50 years and not a little bit of a vehicle that men to kind of so really it's video guys your time in day they go to menu and so you've had to go to all of the process in north korea serves a special purpose. could be the media professionals who do i to proudly call themselves the trumpeters of the revolution to know me, put you all. how cool?

good. i made sure what you do. it's a, it's their job to support the revolution $100.00 and burnished the image of the great leader duty and mobilize the population, speak, carlos, acumen, and then an issue. and hopefully soon you the take them to have him go to him. so tell me that thing, good job it along with the news programs north korean t, v. often bro, costs major propaganda events. sometimes mandatory parades often civilian events. good. good to go to board in the meanwhile, there's a huge budget for projects that are important to the country from to that's one of kim duncan's new initiatives. going, todd, it, it will kill national ceremonies, are a much higher priority now than before. countrymen, they're supposed to make the population proud at the party, and the machine i can see with the message that they're trying to convey is that kim jones, north korea cars getting stronger and stronger. yeah, typically it's a powerful good and well controlled country that's continuing to develop. i'm

interested in that i so typically that would impact on the school covers the device no, to those over time, dynasties, lose their legitimacy tangent. good memories of the past begin to fade. you're not an adult. the grandfather waged, a war of liberation against the japanese, which was the basis of his legitimacy. okay. and kind of what you know, personally doing and what 7080 years after the war means that legitimacy is fading creek up. jim jones, this is under a lot of pressure to find a new basis for his power to him from someone up on this window. tell him what conditions are you going me see what we use to we are to mostly put through despite the strict regime north korea's ion cotton has sprung. a few leaks. videos from south korea are being smuggled into the country more and more often. so

you do the officially north korea. com to receive any south korean television content. bobs boot like copies of south korean t v series. and k pump videos are circulating widely the south korean activists regularly send helium balloons across the border along with pamphlets. the balloons sometimes carry us, be stakes with western entertainments. the countries didn't know how to believe come, but of course it's as most north koreans know that south korea is richard mackenzie minutes ago. most of them have seen a tv series from the south where, you know, and you thought, what can they do with the bible? any resistance is punishable by death, would you consolidate?

prefer to remain silent. it can be so. so the rigid to maintain itself image knowles, korea as gold itself off from foreign influence. the population is almost entirely sealed off from the outside world. then or limited to travel, or use the internet, the toilet to come in. and to put in those are that were in the can get writes off to mobile phones were introduced to you put in the most possible to use a phone network across the north korean. but on my lunch or dinner on that network of people, quick download south korean videos or american films on cell phones. the light from one day to the next correspondence your thoughts, he's realized what was happening kind of hope. and they created their own closed internet system to put it up to continue it. cutting pundits are towing or

jim jones, you knew his way around the computer. so steve, i knew it was the technology of the future. cool. you limit suggestions, he understood the computer and communication technology could spell the collapse of his regime or so. so. so you so isolated the country from the international community or the rent fan to the internet in north korea so well, and that's still true today. kind of internships pushed into connection with typically i'm get kind of just when it comes to the comparison with the size of the 3 of those that i have the vantage point of coming from the former east, germany in the day until 1990. i lived in east germany and we have television from the west radio. kind of do some monitoring, but don't know, i'm going to shut off. when you read north korea newspapers. that's hopefully any news about what's happening on the other side of the florida. now mind age 6 of the road on seeing the newspaper used to include news or south korea, you some that ended in 2020 and then how long ago the north koreans recall the neighbors in the south items korean to

a richard the now we're going to and that's why the north camino authorities keep a tight rein on information about south korea. clinton to present an offer me an identity. you're going to look at the jefferson for . ready for the 26000000 residents of north korea, every aspect of life is strictly regulated. even the children are indoctrinated. the from the very start they learn the story is about the great leaders and the power of the came dentist. a difficult to get through to get some ball to enjoy the can preschool children

learned, but they came family rules. the country. different of us knew that critical i to you guys saying, i don't know, kind of every morning school children read the portraits of kim jong. you sent to me the so what you saw and go to the 2nd because he said this kind of brainwashing is on the present from early childhood and you don't till death or your eyes of a po. we're the guys, it's own savannah kids are you. it's very cool. the school children between 6 and 15 on members of the korean childrens union. a political organization with ties to the workers body on important public days. 3rd graders across the country take part in initiations that room and is the

both boys and girls. with the red scarf of the young pioneers, they agreed to buy none less than king. jump on himself to the north koreans. this is the most important day of that childhood. the at 7 teens, most north korean boys voluntarily enlist in the military as a demonstration of their loyalty to the states. the most to be in men generally says to 80 is the longest mandatory military service in

the world. the find a time to join the military. the young soldiers are usually fully indoctrinated. the site is that he died to propaganda videos to hone the will to find the

pool where the internet north korea isn't economically weak country with a small population commute to local parts of south korea and united states have long underestimate of the country and still claim that the only thing north korea has or nuclear weapons caught on of what north koreans are bred to be very tough. so you're con, good or incredibly determined and have a strong instinct for survival. you under to. yeah. so even when you turn on the plus, they've grown up in a diagnostic system completely isolated from the outside world and, and those are the tools, their mentality is very simple and direct. you know, you can do, you call, they're very loyal to their country then to them. everything they do is a matter of life and death to him. no, we'll catch him. he'll get them in a boy. then when you do take the people of north korea support the regime north korea's nuclear program takes the lion's share of the country's

results is but in the regimes propaganda, it's a necessary sacrifice. take it on the toner unit. if it has a good, it's a 1993. i joined the north korean irving. when did it took us home after us? that's when i learned the phrase nuclear weapons. it's not the you will. they told us that the american invaders wanted to conquer our beautiful country and attack us with strange biological weapons. 3 weeks from industry. what told us to know to protect ourselves. we needed nuclear weapons. yeah. i wouldn't believe you don't get to. and you got a $10.00 trip to check your place. you on the bonnie, the u. k. a test to miss on which is

a set of write it in the media and all parts of the country's national identity. if we sound reporting about missile launches and increase military exercises, the ideology would collapse. it's a constant form of brain washing to ensure that the people remain submissive in ensuring that no one in the country with dan to question the regime's power is a political strategy. and a life insurance policy against the rest of the wells, the palmed, with a compulsory loyalty of its own people like him, dentist, he is determined to keep the rest of the world. but arms length the
