Under The Sun. The fake happiness in North Korea

under-the-sun

Nowadays I´m living in Seoul (South Korea). Last month I visited the border with North Korea or DMZ.  Seoul and Pyongyang are really close, but is sad that the difference between 2 countries.

Under the Sun is  documentary shot over a year under strict government control, this film reveals the conflicted life of a young girl chosen to join North Korea’s Children’s Union. These people are not free, they can´t vote, they can´t travel abroad, they don´t have internet. Also you can see the people going to work from public transport, they are like people without soul.  I can´t understand how its possible support communism way of government and dictatorship.

Really worth it to see how is the life in Pyongyang in a common family and open minds to people don´t know too much about North Korea.
