The problem is that visitors require a guide - someone who will hide the true nature of NK to them and ensuring they only see what they are allowed to see. Even though there has been a good amount of hidden camera footage exposed, or articles such as this one - there are plenty of people who may not really be aware of what is really going on there behind the scenes.

That reminds me of Nazi Germany when they went so far as to create a fake concentration camp for the Red Cross to visit.

If you're interested in Theresienstadt (the concentration camp) there's a great documentary called Prisoner of Paradise. It tells the story a Jewish filmmaker forced to make a propaganda film about the camp.

A lot of the approved video is disturbing to me.

Vice Guide has a great documentary available streaming on Netflix. It was so depressing/surreal/horrifying all at once.

Vice Guide was very interesting. He was visiting large tourist sites, and was the only person there. Visited a gift shop, where he was the only person the attendant probably saw that day.
