DPRK: The Land Of Whispers ( North Korea Travel Documentary) (2013) , , CUT VERSION see comments

North Korea lies somewhere between a 1930s Soviet Union frozen in time and a dark, futuristic vision of as imagined back in the 70s. 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 oneman 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 everpresent 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.
