The Propaganda Game Page #9

Synopsis: North Korea, formerly known as the hermit kingdom, is perhaps the largest source of instability as regards world peace. Its border is one of the most militarized in the world. The lack of impartial information, both inside and coming out of the country, is the perfect setting for a propaganda war, which will be analyzed in the film through numerous examples of the surprising way in which information is manipulated, in and about North Korea. Alejandro Cao de Benos, the sole foreigner who works for the DPRK Government, and many locals will show us their vision of the reality in North Korea. The other side of the story will be reflected through interviews to South Korean citizens, human rights advocates, diplomats, propaganda experts, etc.

of a united Korea.

South Korea doesn't want unification

because they'll have to pay for it.

And it's going to be absolutely,

unbelievably expensive.

- If the North Korean regime

collapses,

you're talking about the billions

of dollars it's going to cost

the South Korean economy.

And it kind of scares South Koreans.

But the longer they're separated,

the longer

this continues, the greater

that cost is going to be.

Of all the major international

players,

the majority wants status quo.

- I think the only ones

who really want it

to collapse

are the North Korean people.

They do want it to collapse.

But they don't have much say

in the matter.

- You're talking here about

23 million people

who are suffering

and have suffered for 65 years

and more grievous crimes

against humanity.

The victims of the status quo

are the vast majority

of the North Koreans

however who does care about them?

Nobody.

Propaganda serves

as a diversion from the truth,

we are all victims of propaganda.

The Governments and the Media

are constantly submitting us

to manipulation

and the only tool

we have against it is information.

But the truth is...

It's hard to tell what is the truth,

and I don't think we'll ever know.

But whether we like it or not,

whether we know it or not,

we are all part of the game.

North Korea is indescribable

no humans deserve to be oppressed

just because of their birthplace.

We need to focus less on the regime

and more on the people

who are being forgotten.

One Young World,

we are the ones

who will make them visible.
