The Propaganda Game Page #2

Synopsis: North Korea, formerly known as the hermit kingdom, is perhaps the largest source of instability as regards world peace. Its border is one of the most militarized in the world. The lack of impartial information, both inside and coming out of the country, is the perfect setting for a propaganda war, which will be analyzed in the film through numerous examples of the surprising way in which information is manipulated, in and about North Korea. Alejandro Cao de Benos, the sole foreigner who works for the DPRK Government, and many locals will show us their vision of the reality in North Korea. The other side of the story will be reflected through interviews to South Korean citizens, human rights advocates, diplomats, propaganda experts, etc.

the 38th parallel marked the division

between the North and the South.

The intention of the U.S.

when they occupied South Korea,

was to provoke a war

with North Korea

and to keep advancing to the north of

the country to rule over all of Asia.

This is the division of the country

that was made back then

and has remained untouched

causing misery and distress

for more than half a century.

Around this line there is

an area of 4 km called

the "Demilitarized Zone".

Panmunjom is the most

unstable place in the world

where 2 nations at war are not

separated by a physical border.

The Demilitarized Zone

was not what we expected.

This is probably the most

dangerous place in the world.

At the moment that's what they say

the most heavily militarized...

But here it's very peaceful,

on our side.

On our side it looks very relaxed.

To be honest, we were expecting

something much more...

Except for the clapping.

Over there, that's South Korea

and those blue buildings

are the border.

This place is strange and it feels

like a tourist attraction.

This is the only place

where we can cross

from the North to the South.

This room has been the setting

for approximately 12,000 meetings

since the end of the war

until March of 1991.

The purpose of these meetings was

to denounce the acts of provocation

and the violations of the conditions

of the armistice by the U.S.

Since the end of the war until 1991,

more than 815,000 infractions

have been registered

committed by the U.S. government.

The violation of the conditions

of the armistice

has caused that, at any time, nuclear

war could break out in Korea.

In order to preserve peace

in Korea and in the World,

we need to design a new system

that can assure peace

between us and the U.S.

But the U.S. keeps doing

military tests

and every year they increase

the deployment of nuclear weapons

in South Korea.

Our victory is not recognized

by the U.S.

and doesn't appear in their books.

We do not know

how it will be taught in the future.

Documents, they showed

how the war was prepared

by the North Koreans.

Evidence from the

Russian and Chinese archives

was published 20 years ago,

but most North Koreans

still believe

the war was initiated

by the Americans.

When I was in North Korea.

I was taught that America

started the Korean War

but when I came to South Korea

and studied the history,

I realized that

it was actually North Korea

that first attacked South Korea.

We always explain the Korean War

was started by the U.S.

although there was

a fight going on

because our guerillas

led by President Kim Il-sung,

liberated the Northern half

while the U.S. was advancing
