North Korea: Inside the Hermit Kingdom

A university professor (Dr. Bob Beatty of Washburn University) is granted the rare opportunity to visit North Korea and see the Great Leader himself! This documentary film peeks behind the dark curtain surrounding the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) - a dynastic one-party communist dictatorship closed off from the rest of the world. Granted unique filming access to such sites as the Korean Demilitarized Zone, the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun and the Arirang Mass Games Festival; the film examines the history, culture, propaganda and political situation inside "the Hermit Kingdom."
