    One hour program , just watched it on BBC1.
    Basically some guy from the BBC got in on some made up tour and did alot of undercover filming.


    Mass starvation ,citizens having to listen to all day propaganda on massive speakers.

    He was brought to see a 'farm' in the middle of the city!. No crops or animals just concrete and a family pretending to live in a house .

    Markets with no one in them .

    The best bit was when they went to the capital's hospital that could apparently fit 1300 people - but there were no patients!

    They had some type of computer there that looked like some early 80's Packard Bell yoke .

    In winter they store the dead bodies in factory buildings cause the ground is frozen and then bury what's left of the rotting corpses in April in massive holes in the ground.


    Stailin over again . Very sad to see , considering that a prospering South Korea is thriving just miles away.

    I guess this programme will be repeated maybe on BBC2 over the next few weeks well worth a watch.

    I've a feeling it won't be repeated again - ever.

    Did BBC Use LSE Students As ‘Human Shields’ During Undercover North Korea Trip?
