Dispatches
Undercover in the Secret State (2005x21)
Ημερομηνία προβολής: Οκτ 17, 2005
This heartbreaking film is like a bad dream: there's a sense
of bleakness and you can't see anything clearly. Its saddest
sections are filmed undercover in the closed world of North
Korea where we discover, with a lurching stomach, that it's
not uncommon to see people lying dead in the street. Reporter
Kim Jung Eun tracks down dissidents who have fled the country
and builds a picture of the makeshift underground: a big force
for change is smuggled videos of foreign soap operas; one man
who managed to paste up a defiant poster and film it has become
a hunted hero. It becomes unbearably moving to glimpse the plight
of a whole nation through snatches of secretly filmed footage,
but by the end you feel the very least we can do is watch.
