Korea, China and Japan

Not funny but I find these videos to be very interesting.

I recently watched the movie "Under the Sun", which is a documentary filmed in North Korea with the blessing of the North Korean government. North Korean "documentaries" are strictly censored by the government, meaning that they're careful lies - they depict actors reciting scripted lines and living happy lives. The whole time I was watching the documentary, I couldn't help but wonder what these people really think. If they were free to tell the truth would they really be toeing the party line or are they aware of the farce?

And this is the value of this youtube video - it's interviews with people who were able to leave that regime and can now speak freely.



The second video is just a nice sociological insight. The Korea, Japan and China have a long history of mutual hatred, mistreatment and racism. So they ask Japanese people on the street about whether those historical resentments survive today.
