I’m a big fan of Asian (particularly Korean) cinema.
I’ve heard about the film a long time ago, and I badly want to see it. But I guess it’s not available in the Philippines.If you have a copy of the film, please, please, do contact me through my e-mail. Thanks!

Well When I saw the movie I was touched. And I feel that we as the WHOLE world need to fix this HUGE problem. totalitarianism Is not a pretty thing. The North korean army itself doesn’t even know about the advancement in technology outside. While we the USA is converting from Digital to HD in around 3-4 months the people of North korea is facinated by static “full” Digital TV (and terrible ones at that). All sorts technology that exercises freedom of speech etc. are banned such as PC’s Cameras and so on and so forth. This move shows even that a Pencil sharpener is a precious device.
As I have proved my point it is a dificult place to live. China can’t even be compared to N. Korea.

there was this hour-long documentary film done by british mediamen on north korea which i fortunately saw on a cable channel.. — a family is provided with (one or two-bedroom) apartment, provided with a tv where channels are only about the north korean gov’t. (tv viewing time is also controlled), children go to school early and study really hard– thinking that they are doing those to please their president…

like what you said, south korean children are really so lucky compared to north korean children. and still, many people complain about what they dont have rather than being thankful with what they have…

i could never imagine myself living in such conditions.. life must be respected and people must be allowed to live according to their will…
