My North Korea Experience HD 2017

In March 2017 I traveled to the DPRK/North Korea. This is a video of my experience there, it’s not a political video, simply a video diary of my trip, more of a ‘docudiary’. I filmed for 6 days using a basic JVC HD video camera. I have a background and degree in Media Studies but have not really used my skills in 14 years so this is my first real project since leaving university.

The DPRK is a fascinating country, well worth a visit, what happened recently with Otto was heart-breaking and goes without saying, unnecessary. The USA government have done the right thing in banning its citizens from going.

Our group like almost all other groups had a trouble free and fascinating visit. Politics aside, you have to remember that we saw a country with 24 million inhabitants going about their everyday lives, some were ‘wealthy’ and some were poor. We saw the best of the DPRK and it certainly is a country that’s like no other, it’s like being in a different world or stepping back in time 40 years.

On our tour we visited Kaesong, the DMZ, Sariwon, Sinuiji and Dongrim, the tour cost apx 1200euros (1400USD), this included our flights from Beijing to Pyongyang, hotels, food, tour guides and transport, some drinks also! We took the train back to Beijing stopping off at Dandong and Shenyang on the way.

ON this trip we visited many sites in Pyongyang, such as Kim Il Sung Square, Kumsusan Palace of the Sun, Victorious War Museum, USS Pueblo Ship, Pyongyang underground/metro/subway, Monument to the Founding Party, Arch of Reunification, Mansu Hill Grand Monument (featuring the statues of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il) and of course the Pyongyang traffic ladies!

Hope you enjoy!
