I'm not sure how this can be construed as "a calculated attempt by the North Korean government to manipulate the media and foreign governments". The kid looks and dresses like a South Korean boy band member and just called his relatives dictators...seems to me that doesn't do anything other than get egg all over the North Korean government's face.

The interviewer introduces the word dictator. He goes along, but doesn't actually make any criticisms - pretty much all he says of substance is that he wants peace and unification, which are not particularly 'South Korean' ideas. If a similar film had been made with the current leader 20 years ago, I wouldn't be surprised at all.
