Synopsis:
Award winning journalist Barbara Demik follows the lives of six North Korean citizens over 15 years - that saw the death of Kim Il-sung, the rise to power of his son Kim Jong -Il and a devastating famine that killed 1/5 of the population. Demik brings to life what it means to be living under the most reprehensive totalitarian regime today -an Orwellian world that is by choice not connected to the Internet, where displays of affection are punished, informants are rewarded, and an offhand remark can send a person to the Gulag for life. Demik takes us deep inside the country, beyond the reach of government sensors, and through meticulous and sensitive reporting we see her subjects fall in love, raise families, nurture ambitions, and struggle for survival. One by one, we witness their profound, life altering disillusionment with the government and their realization that, rather than providing them with lives of abundance, their country has betrayed them.
