An Inside Look At The Misery Of Life In North Korea (Video)

North Korea's Undercover Journalists Reveal Misery Of Life In Dictatorship -- The Telegraph

With its ruthless dictator, network of forced labour camps and iron grip of its ruling party, North Korea is the last country one might expect to see a middle-aged woman berating a policeman for demanding a bribe.

But extraordinary video images smuggled out of North Korea, combined with reports of graffiti and posters critical of the regime, indicate a growing willingness among a previously cowed public to speak out and demand change.

My Comment: These images remind me of the stories that my father told me of how life was like for him growing up in Ukraine during the great famine in 1932-33. Disturbing does not even come close to how I feel.

South Koreans are also seeing these images of their Northern cousins suffering .... and trust me .... many are pissed off with the North Korean elite in a manner that we in the West,China, or anywhere else can comprehend.

Is there a breaking point fast approaching .... if I was a South Korean I would say yes, if I was a North Korean, I would have said yes years ago.

Kudos to the men who filmed these videos. If they were caught in north Korea, execution or death in a labor camp would have been their outcome.
