Vice Guide to North Korea

[LostInAnomie]

It's an interesting 3 part series of a journalist's trip to N. Korea. It's a pretty interesting insight into the culture, their propaganda, and how they try to hide the conditions in their country from foreigners.

1. I have been watching some of these guys videos and I wonder who

is sponsoring them. Are they a front for a larger channel?

2. I don't know. This is honestly the first time I've seen any of their work.

It looks like they were willing to take quite a few risks in N. Korea though. It's pretty interesting stuff.

4. They definetly do some risky stuff.

I've seent the one were they went to a Pakistani gun bazaar and the one were they went to Liberia. Liberia is a crazy place.
