i could sense a lot of entitlement and superiority issues on the part of the film-maker with his comments and understanding of the world. a really narrow world-view in my opinion.

the film-maker’s solution is for DPRK to open up it’s borders for trading and “become more western”? why do you think DPRK is isolationist in the first place?
