Now we want to take
everyone to North Korea.
We have an unprecedented
investigation by
inside a kind of hell.
- It's mad and sad and bad
and silly all in the same time.
- Most tours go to North Korea
with very low expectations.
Because everybody
watches the documentaries,
reads the news, and so on.
And even if 90 percent of
what they learn is not true,
at least it's something
they've looked into.
Because everybody knows
North Korea is an unusual place.
Everybody knows they do things
differently to everyone else.
What we ignore
is that there is life
- The regime seeks
of its citizens' lives
and terrorizes them from within.
We don't have much awareness
of the Western mentality,
of how they perceive
the Koreans from outside
from the rest of the world.
- For the outside world
it's sort of a freak show.
That's part of the fascination
with North Korea.
There aren't that many real
mysteries left in the world,
and this is a closed,
mysterious place.
Due to the U.S. hostile policy
to our Korea,
they try to isolate and,
you know,
stifle our country,
consistently threaten our people.
- The situation in North Korea
is extremely grave.
The country
is a totalitarian regime.
It is a regime
that doesn't respect
of its citizens.
- Amnesty International,
which has been investigating
human rights violations
for the last 50 years,
in a category of its own.
There's a severe food crisis.
Freedom of expression,
freedom of speech,
freedom of association
is severely curtailed.
- Torture, rape, forced
abortion, and execution.
- Just unprecedented
crimes against humanity.
And the world
can't close its eyes to that
and pretend it's not there just
because there's a nuclear problem.
- Pyongyang warns
an explosion is imminent,
today or tomorrow.
and will not benefit
from violating international law.
- How dangerous is the situation?
- This is how wars start.
- Threats of terror-like violence
and another premiere cancelled.
- We cannot have a society
in which some dictator someplace
here in the United States.
Because if somebody is able
to intimidate folks
out of releasing
a satirical movie,
imagine what they'd start doing
when they see
a documentary
that they don't like.
We honor, we honor
to the highest degree
we honor to the highest degree.
We honor, we honor
to the highest degree
We honor to the highest degree.
North Korea is known
as the Hermit Kingdom,
and there is a reason for this.
It is almost impossible to get in,
especially with a camera.
Over the centuries, Korea
has been invaded more than 100 times
by its powerful neighbors
China and Japan.
Today, it remains the last
stronghold of communism.
My name is Alvaro Longoria.
I am a filmmaker from Spain.
For many years, I have been rather
fascinated by North Korea.
Probably like you, I have wondered:
Is everything we read and hear
about North Korea really true?
Over the next days,
is my quest to seek out the truth.
After many failed attempts
to get into the country,
the only foreigner who works
for the government of North Korea.
I contacted him through Facebook
and a year later, we were officially
invited into the country.
Sponsored by Alejandro,
and provided we followed
their strict rules,
we would be granted
privileged access.
We were put
on a predetermined itinerary
and could not leave
the hotel alone.
At all times we were accompanied
by our Korean guides.
In theory, we were allowed to
interview anybody we wanted.
thousands of miles away.
But what is happening there is
important to every American.
- A highly trained and well-equipped
North Korean army
swarmed across the 38th parallel
to attack
unprepared South Korean defenders.
- The scene was set for a war
between North and South.
With the North supplied
from the Soviet Union.
And the South supported
by the United States and its allies.
- The cost was high to Americans
who bore the brunt
under the UN banner.
ruthlessly slaughtered prisoners,
many with their arms bound.
- First films
of the ceremonies at Panmunjom
that end 3 years
of bitter, costly conflict.
The bulky agreement spells out
in minutest detail
every provision of the truce.
The ceasefire is good news
to the men at the front,
knows that the big problems
remain to be solved, even
if the enemy acts in good faith.
But there is hope.
A big step forward has been taken.
The armistice becomes official.
The fighting is over.
Prisoners will be exchanged,
but there is little rejoicing.
The Cold War is on, and the
On day one, we headed
the most militarized
in the world,
wrongly named the
"Demilitarized Zone".
In the 200 km highway
from Pyongyang,
we only saw one car,
a couple of bicycles and a bus.
Until September of 1945,
