Based on this documentary, the life of an average North Korean citizen is a life that no one would wish to have. Its a life of brainwash, dictatorship, and horrible living. From birth, they are taught to love and worship their ‘great’ leader, and no one else. They are taught things that are against there will, even though they have no idea that it is actually ‘against their will’. They have no tv’s, no cell phones, no knowledge at all of the outside world. I mainly knew how bad North Korea was, watching this video was just more of a reality of it to me. What surprised me the most was towards the end, when the Doctor started to take off all of his patients bandages off their eyes. Never ONCE did the Doctor get thanked, but after the removal of bandages from each patients eyes, that patient proceeded to walk towards two pictures of the General of North Korea, and literally bowed down to it, as they screamed their feelings of love and praise for the General, and how they would ‘work harder’ for the General as well. You can not even begin to compare the United States to North Korea, their is NO possible comparisons at all what so ever. Everything is a difference from us to them, the way we live, the way we were brought up, our many beliefs, our technology. We are the land of the free, literally, and not only free in general but free in what we can feel and do. I believe that every student should have the opportunity to see this documentary, as it will make them realize how good they really have it, living in this great country, and having the freedom we are allowed to have. I know it made me realize it, it made me more thankful for the things and the freedom we have here in the U.S.
