The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a country with a very strong social cohesion and the unprecedented admiration of the people for their leader, which is absolutely unique and incomprehensible especially from a Western point of view.

The film shows the country and its people in a way, as it is rarely done in Western media, non-judgmental and respectful towards the people.Peanut Gallery
