Darn, now I really want to watch it lol! However, it's blocked in Canada :(
It's kind of silly considering we actually contribute to PBS (according to PBS Seattle, we make up a 3rd of their contributions).
The stream is pretty saturated right now.
TBH, if you've watched 2 or 3 other North Korean documentaries, this is kind of more of the same, except maybe a full third of it was filmed by North Koreans in North Korea using smuggled cameras. The information is more up-to-date also, but it the basic gist isn't really anything too new.
I've seen a lot of North Korean documentaries but I have never seen an overview like this of information and media that is being smuggled into and out of the country and how it's smuggled. I believe that spreading information about the outside world into North Korea is key in bringing down the regime, so I think this documentary really worth watching.

I'm from Australia, but couldn't resist not seeing this. I used a free US VPN to watch it ;)
You couldn't resist not seeing this, so you saw it?
Which one?
The smuggled footage in this is fantastic and remarkable. The interviews with the North Koreans in the South were also quite interesting.
