DPRK: The Land Of Whispers
# North Korea lies somewhere between a 1930β²s Soviet Union frozen in time and a dark, futuristic vision of societyβ¦ as imagined back in the 70β²s.
π Overview:
"Land of Whispers" invites you to visit arguably the most unique and isolated travel destination in the world - not to criticize, but to observe and listen. Aside from usual highlights such as Pyongyang or Arirang, this unique one-man documentary brings you to areas such as Chongjin or Wonson, still virtually unknown to even google or wikipedia. There, I attempt to pierce through the ever-present 'national mythology' and as much as possible, I try to connect with people - such as the waitress mesmerized by tablet computers, or a tour guide cautiously fascinated by modern pop culture.
