the daughter of north korean leader kim jong on not long ago, she began accompanying her father to military parades and rocket launches. even though she's believe to be only 11 or 12 years old. the well, she'd take over the helm, esther north korean dictatorship one day. and because of the iron grip on power that the kim tennessee has wielded for more than 7 decades, the

the, the funeral goes 2022 just 3 months after announcing its 1st case of cobit 19 north korea. declan pandemic was as a comrade, kim, jo, john, vice president of the central committee of the workers, party of korea to do comrade new vision in the summer. and just review the 7 days of battle against the pandemic sheep in the last 90. 1 days i witnessed many dramatic situations and was hoping to

get him to hop on that or this was the 1st be challenge by it came from one's youngest sister came jo joan, on north korean television when she spoke about her brother's recovery from cove. it many in the audience went well hello, listen, lindsey hung up soon as i didn't do any also send you the total pension. it'll be a piece. so she'll those with terrible moments when i was unable to help our great leader who put on wants to do more session. and most of the repair was that he had to confront the crisis alone, who missing a times distraught and despairing. when she goes, i'm going to do is there. so send you the on tuesday, let him, jo joan is deputy director of the propaganda administrative. not a pop to her brother. she's widely regarded as the countries number to leader. since 1948, 3 generations of the came family of rule, the democratic people's republic up north korea, with the absolute power,

good hill cynita. the under the, to the tears are what are you talking about? your career doesn't have a monica and you'll get us with doesn't have a royal family quote to me. instead, me trace the lineage pack your what my call the mount back to that line. you go to look a similar, some don't waiting in the kind of more than one video, then that's when you're now act as a place of pilgrimage for policy members in north koreans coverage new. so you so,

but such similar to stuff gets revisit as the place where kim il sung, downloaded that the resistance against japanese occupation. this also recalled it as the birthplace of kimmy john hill. you'll get a, someone just to lift this from, let me go to the question you saw here for you is just to plug the power wheel. so and kim jong hill, things we're going to say criminal as is this mountain? it's similar to what leslie had to means to christians is whom do i think is founding miss help secure the kim families hold on power, which is not quite as secure as it would be under a month case. the domestic dictatorship had to create its own cult of personality and all thought i'd see the also know to to include those who say what is the source on it

when you to your to so propaganda. message was repeated in chinese, japanese, spanish and english move intended to suggest to north koreans that its leaders were also reviewed abroad the climbing back to the sacred revolution. the mountain jim it was soon said with deep emotion. whenever i climbed mount packed are i think of camry jimmy, don't you a mount back door is a split of place and the trailing whately and richard his courage mount back to it's jim juniors mountain at the same time as being jim in a sense of mountain the owners

of the entire family stand united at the helm of north korea, kim il sung, and his sons came. joan ill on the present and unforgotten giants, marvels of them, what even installed on the stage of the supreme people's assembly. every decision made by came john own and his sister just came. jo jones, i was an extension of the dentist do that as role the country for well over a half a century on your to she started to sell all the tennessee begun with came also do a 1948 became the leader and founding father of north korea in the

19th sixty's a culture personality, a matched which led to dictate to an almost god like status. to this day came l, so is still regarded as supposed to bring him added tunnel. the leader of north korea. in 1994, the sun came, joan ill assumed power. according to legend, he was born on mount peck too, and was possessed of a powerful intellect and accomplishments. the camry, jim juno is an outstanding philosopher, statesman,

and leader. but most of tile talents and capabilities is not only the greatest ideological and see read the genius of the present time is the greatest man schumann, history has ever produced. the greatest demand we as a boost in all the change on ill died in 2011. his youngest son, 27 year old, came joan on became his successor. at the time he was a complete unknown in north korea and abroad. but kim jong il had already paid the way by making strategic appointments to key positions before his death. the

as well as the a, you have the tools and acquisition off. he was very young, senior with the internet society which seen yours who was extremely important. lots of to that was a problem for him versus guns with others all to glad you to tier to kind of wrapped up by dressing very conservatively. um, if we try to model himself on his grandfather in appearance, you know, as a young man that length with some authority human, cuz they are the, the, the, to the time that a full measure. nobody knew him. so suddenly he pay it pretty looked a lot like email. so audrey not even last, who was baffled. is that a candidate, though? that's every public, a parent, kim jong. he's like his grandfather and spoke like him to talk to him. no,

i mean we're not going to live over there, get a minute, just don't we don't to go with you in a demonstration of power came jones on dismissed a number of functionaries. ready ready ready and ordered the arrest of his influential uncle jamestone tax. in december 2013, his uncle was executed for an edge to corruption. even the north korean press, domestic coverage was perennially slanted to the positive reported on james execution. the king john succeeded. is his father, you know, he's a young man. we had information that he had gone to school in switzerland. we

thought maybe this is a more customer politan sake here who understand the international community. maybe he wanted better relations with the world. we were wrong. it turns out kim jung on is the most aggressive of the 3 kids, came jump on, installed his closest confidence at the center of pilot. above all, his sister came jo jones. the 2 of them had attended school together in switzerland and forged the relationship of unconditional trust. the board and vacation saw that if anything were to happen to came, jump on desist would be his successor. ensuring that the came finally would retain its hold on power. the

even give obesity dog commutable one for the sale in north korea. there are 2 levels of legislation. today's, 1st of all, we have a constitution. bunch of populated states that north korea is a republican with general and secret election. hong drive to kind of the 2nd level is the parties that you choose. they state that the party leadership is hereditary samouce, and each generation comes from the camp family, tiny roll coat, one to cut off. so the party is based on the ideology of kim il sung, and kim jong is a jet and is supposed to work on behalf of they're interested in well, and not the interests of the north korean people time to come in today. and kind of

time to go from both of the parties, statute clearly outbreaks. the constitution of the songs. anyone who joins the party in north korea must swear to sacrifice everything to ensure that the regime is preserved from one generation to the next 2 years. didn't you say so if you go to so more than go through a package of all, i mean, that's how the north korean system works is kind of in a coolant to us. so across the similar shooting, i don't waste the north koreans out as part of the regime that owes its allegiance to the kim denise d on the last day in and day out north to reinstate television. broadcast propaganda, images of a happy and prosperous people. the but the reality is more complex. the,

according to united nations reports in north koreans are obligated to keep watch over the neighbors and denounce any misbehavior. this network of mutual surveillance is intended to maintain control over the population and preserve an image of national pride and contentment the mm. the task they create unit to 5 families monitor each of a ship set the above task. we have him in the unit of 60 families in pens, cause a mandatory piece, david, every admin, bottom as a unit tab,

you should always know what's happening in every household. most people in the come see us just a minute to just go in and system people look at the system of surveillance was created 75 years ago, which attempt is evolved into a true system, entire arguments all composite, which is typically when it goes to the there's no civil society, there's nothing on which, for example, and universities or religion or all the areas where we, we often see revolution get going. the north korea government says shut all of that down. the freedom of phones is not permitted in north korea. colleagues,

neighbors and even family members can turn on one another. according to radio reports, one young man was sentenced to death for smuggling. the south korean t. v series squeeze came into the country. he had been denounced by his parents. most people have no internet access and comp make international phone calls, the kind of jobs you got, cut them over here, i'm going to, i mean, in north korea it's, it's not just the convicted person who was punished, but the entire family, which is a, you'll be diesel telescope, a son is shot for a crime against the fatherland. his parents, siblings, and even fellow students can be punished and discriminated against pretty easy about the tool or button you're not. i mean, okay, so what does that mean to come?

you know, anyone who would be prepared to sacrifice their own life or freedom and democracy really thinks twice before doing anything salvo call and i will have that are not doing no, they're also putting their entire family at risk equal to a p e. that's why the north koreans don't worry about. we quote your order. you'll know this is how the system maintains the status quotes. you can continue to jump in with you. if you are someone who desperately wants to free your people in north korea, maybe if it's just you, you would say, i'm willing to die for that to free my country. but are you willing to kill your grandparents and your children and your aunts and uncles? so that's the terrible, terrible way of control that the regime has over its people. you've done your students on the thought of a ton, but they know that as soon as anyone is seen as a threat to execute a new bid on congress without an investigation or a trial or a judge. yeah, i don't know that about like of us to stay with you. that's why came john own was

able to order the execution of his uncle with a strong songs tackle and his half brother to his half brother kim jong, who was murdered in 2017 at the airport in malaysia. so is it for the eyes of the entire world in front of a surveillance camera mobilized at us because the other opponents end up in labor and re education times international organizations estimate. there are about 20 such camps in the country. according to the handful of survivors who were able to escape conditions in the camps re, i think most of the prisoners die of torture or hunger for as a result of forced labor. it's estimated that between 100200000 opponents of the regime currently incarcerated simons,

i've also kills millions of north koreans most during the 19 ages. and 1990 is statistics like these cars made north korea, one of the most brutal dictatorships in the world, the, the oldest all have under the time of when i arrived in south korea, i heard something i didn't understand called the national committee for human rights. so i asked what it was, they were surprised and asked me don't, you know, it's an organization that protects our rights as human beings. the i as to why do we need an organization like that they reply to be it's normal? isn't there something like that in north korea because the

they didn't understand toward complaint and every woman dot we asked the word like 60 women. they didn't understand the work, the words complained and so we had to really explain them in different boards what it means. and they said that, yeah, you can, you cannot complain the women's union and will complain against you that you didn't submit enough quote task. so for them complain to goes only one way the government can punish or to somehow criticize for not fulfilling certain duties that were they had such as bringing enough coal tests, but they don't have complaints. so they don't understand that in normal country citizens have a right to complain. ready ready ready ready ready

ready ready to north korean capital kiln yang is home to about 3000000 people. ready ready the city lines on the tab on river, which is used as a source of hydro power and irrigation. the city center is a testament to the power of the king, tennessee. the defense ministry recalls north korea's great victories. the center of power is to come through some palace office on the official military parades are held in its full cost that you che, tower lies on the other side of the river to j is the official ideology of the

north korean regime and means and we'll talk a little self reliance is unofficially represents the cult of personality surrounding that came tennessee, which is also called key msm. in recent years, young gang has been transforming itself public transportation, which includes subways, bosses and st. cause is being expanded, not long ago, a swimming pool opened. george going your way, you know, things have to go to and serious. so since he took office, i control this for kind of mind the on the selection when it comes to try should have nuclear weapons and dig a for tons. he also invested a sizable portion of the military bunch of the way down to the private sector being gumple. this expanded the like manufacturing. second time they come go up to the gym. jo issued us from gift over pontoon, restarted his life in the capital,

as also changed. the city looks small west and now but the strict rules of the regime continue to hold sway these days more and more north koreans own a smartphone, but they can't be used for international calls. and only a few hours off emitted which have to be personally approved by came jones on himself. the more people also call nowadays on sundays the traffic is bulky on yang, on usually heavy small and so individual ality all taking hold in closing and fashion new buildings are sprouting up. oil changes intended to signal normality and modernity to the outside. well

it's kind of my argument, our phones aren't this, this leaving and not based on my own observations. i can see that over the past 30 years and from life in north korea has an improved significantly. and usually even for ordinary people, pass along is of course the baseline was very low, the the things have definitely improve mentioned dorothy, i've, a lot of people to day have more options when it comes to consumption. swift and guns. and that includes things like moving moods, transportation to enable the country has modernize the lawn carts, although it is important to note the p on. yeah. is not the typical of north korea as a whole mission. north korea is as if you on yang is a level of above the rest of the country who do not respect them. the nice design does not. i've travelled across north korea and seem that things have improved everywhere for the p on yang stands out, because that's where the leak live is on this. and of course, the leadership needs the support of a lead to maintain political stability and just had some push to lead the fee of a police officer stuff or do paid. like i mean and cargo to enjoy a explain

a survey of north korean to flip the country gentleman to dump countrymen due to the cult shows that i clearly prefer control home to his fault and that it can go into cooking people. so give me joints. i feel more of a connection to him this time i can see that he improve this time, that of life since a huge amount of years. so they're making john hill the only kid about the military . when putty k. o, jim jones. oh, well as liver lies to promote to the market, it to god you know, such and get them was. so that's why they pidmoore hoping to have to jo and when you're in seller cuz i'm a product of so. so facilitate this all. i'm assuming duty, can you tell me about done and don't wanna do so question don't mind to dig, i'm gonna support the whole from the, from that that'd be on national television. the regimes propaganda machine offers a steady flow of evidence of progress in the country on every tv channel for news

concepts and describe the opening of factories and buildings and cutting symbols. any time to the city's new bosses also get the fashion of attention you. when you came, jo, loan even made a personal appearance to inspect them. before the camera come up, you'll still get, you're going to go to the b side. when you got it, did you get closer to the noble determination of the policy and that you love? so the people has skills a different reality, didn't go to it, printed it to that goes with the a nice because she got so little is hand on the north korean media has definitely become more modern hot in into and you from doing you that wasn't gonna commit you to throw so fast cuts, make television shows look much livelier than before the little talk you get the chance because all those together on the instead of just one tv channel,

there are now for view is can choose between different shows which helps land greater credibility to the programming and even the country is most famous and has been swept off in the winds of change when you cut them to choose the kids all to come read. kim jones stood for a commemorative photo with the workers of korean television woods. and it's a pause and then what's the point that evolved since the 19 seventy's 32, he has presented the country's most important use. torres, are you on service showing that you don't have jobs for me? it was the we will fight against the enemy to go. you to tell them that you are potentate on everything from nuclear missile tests, to the meeting between kim jones on the tv stations, employees 3 to him. he was set to be his favorite news presenter.

a few days later came joan own presided over the you know, the ration ceremony for a new residential district. the dictator himself gave a reach him, he, a key to a new luxurious residence. it was a reward for her loyalty to the regime, but as part of a wave of modernization for each one he was slated to be replaced by a young calling. you told me to get 7 know each of the told me that you didn't owe him. john own himself told me there was nothing more valuable than such a loyal welcome. who's been working in the media for 50 years and not i will visit with vs what i'm going to kind of so really it's video guys your time in day to day go to menu and so you've had to go to all of the process in north korea serves a special purpose, could be the media professionals. who do i have to proudly call themselves the trumpeters of the revolution? to me only put you all how cool, good. i made sure what you do. it's a,

it's their job to support the revolution. 100 and burnished the image of the great leader duty and mobilize the population, speak, carlos accumulate here, and then an issue and hopefully soon you the, you're going to have him go to him. so tell me that thing to jump it along with the news programs north korean t. v. awesome grow costs, major propaganda events. sometimes mandatory parades often civilian events. good. good to go to board in the meanwhile, there's a huge budget for projects that are important to the country from to that's one of kim duncan's new initiatives. going, todd, it, it'll kill national ceremonies. are a much higher priority now than before. countrymen, they're supposed to make the populations proud at the party, and the machine i can see with the message that they're trying to convey is that kim jones, north korea, was getting stronger and stronger. typically, it's a powerful getting well controlled countries of continuing to develop. i'm

interested in that a so typically that would be an impact on how good the school covers the device. no, to him. those over time, dynasties, lose their legitimacy. good memories of the past begin to fade in that an adult. the grandfather waged, a war of liberation against the japanese, which was the basis of his legitimacy. okay. and kind of what you know, personally doing and what 7080 years after the war means that legitimacy is fading creek up. jim jones, this is under a lot of pressure to find a new basis for his power to someone up on this window to tell him what conditions do you see while you were to we are to mostly put so despite the strict regime north korea's ion cotton has sprung a few leaks. videos from south korea are being smuggled into the country more and

more often. so you do the officially north korea. com to receive any south korean television content. bob's boot like copies of south korean t. v series and k pump videos are circulating widely the sound screen activists regularly send helium balloons across the border along with pamphlets. the balloons sometimes carries us be stakes with western entertainments. the countries didn't know who we come, but of course it's as most north koreans know that south korea is richard mackenzie minutes ago. most of them have seen a tv series from the south where, you know, and you thought, what can they do with the bible? any resistance is punishable by death, would you consolidate,

prefer to remain silent? taken for this was all the religion to maintain itself. image knowles, korea as gold itself, off from foreign influence, the population is almost entirely sealed off from the outside world. been on limited to travel or use the internet, the toilet to come in and to put in those are that were in the can get writes off the mobile phones were introduced to you most possible to use a phone network across the north korea. but on my lunch or dinner on that network of people quick download south korean videos or american films on the cell phones the light from one day to the next correspond deal. so once he's realized what was happening kind of, oh, and they created their own closed internet system to put it up to continue it. cutting pundits are towing or jim jones,

you know, his way around computer stick. i knew it was the technology of the future. cool. you limit suggestions, he understood the computer and communication technology could spell the collapse of his regime or so. so. so you so isolated the country from the international community or the red fan to the internet in north korea so well, and that's still true today. kind of internships 1st interpretation of typically i think it's kind of his eyes when it comes to the comparison with the size because he knows that i have the vantage point of coming from the former east germany in the day until 1990. i lived in east germany from we have television from the west radio from the west on a daily basis. and we had a reference point to meet comparison invest, building telephone, not yet visitors in the west coast of phone calls. this is the information that north koreans have a safe career as nothing like that. overall, they might have watched a soap opera and we heard a rumor about this, but they don't have that daily. and i'll be too much new. i think that even with better access to information, most north koreans still have next,

a new idea of what's actually happening in south korea, forced to them deformed bus. i conditions equally up us here. in full 2020 the came regime passed the reactionary storage and culture denunciation role violations that the law punishable by public execution or internment. in a labor camp the regime, the intensified repression, loss of success. the number of people who attempted to flee the country dwindled the monitoring. but don't mind going to set up when you read north korea newspapers. that's hopefully any news about what's happening on the other side of the florida. now mind page 6 of the road on seeing the newspaper used to include news or south korea, you some that ended in 2020 and then how long ago the north koreans recall the neighbors in the south items korean to

a richard the now we're going to and that's why the north camino authorities keep a tight rein on information about south korea. clinton to present an offer me an identity. you're going to look at the jefferson for . ready for the 26000000 residents of north korea, every aspect of life is strictly regulated. even the children are indoctrinated. the from the very start, they learn the stories about the great leaders and the power of the came dentist, a difficult to get through to get some boiling drugs. come preschool, children learned,

but they came family roles. the country idea of us knew that critical. i to the dressing room, kind of every morning school children read the portraits of kim jong. you send to me the so i would ease and go to the 2nd because he said this kind of brainwashing is on the present from early childhood. and you don't till death or your eyes. oh, we're the guys. it's own bennett case. are you a typical the school children between 6 and 15, a members of the korean childrens union? a political organization with ties to the welters bodies on important public days. 3rd graders across the country take part in initiations that room and is the

both boys and girls. with the red scarf of the young pioneers, they agreed to find none less. then came jump on himself to the north koreans. this is the most important day of that childhood. the at 17 most north korean boys voluntarily enlist in the military as a demonstration of their loyalty to the states. the most to be in men generally says to 80 is the longest mandatory military service in

the world. the, by the time to join the military, the young soldiers are usually fully indoctrinated. the site is that he died to propaganda videos to hone the will to find the or the

pool where the north korea isn't economically weak country with a small population commute to local parts of south korea and united states have long underestimate of the country and still claimed that the only thing north korea has or nuclear weapons caught on of what north koreans are bred to be very tough. so you're con, they're incredibly determined and have a strong instinct for survival. you under to. yeah. so even when you turn on, those are plus, they've grown up in a diagnostic system completely isolated from the outside world and, and those are the kind of cool they're mentality, is very simple and direct. you know, you can do, you call, they're very loyal to their country then to them. everything they do is a matter of life and death to another. oh, wait. oh, i didn't get them in a boy. then when you do take the people of north korea support the regime north korea's nuclear program takes the lion's share of the country's

results is but in the regimes propaganda, it's a necessary sacrifice. take it on the toner unit. if it has a good, it's a 1993. i joined the north korean are the ones that are tibits home address. that's when i learned the phrase nuclear weapons. it's not the you will, but they told us that the american invaders wanted to conquer. our beautiful country are monday through attack us with strange biological weapons, 3 weeks from industry. what told us to know to protect ourselves? we needed nuclear weapons. rena: i work for you if you don't get to and you got a $10.00 trip to a church. i go to place you on this all bonnie, the you k a test to miss on which is

a set of write it in the media and all parts of the country's national identity. if we sound reporting about missile launches and increase military exercises, the ideology would collapse. it's a constant form of brain washing to ensure that the people remain submissive or ensuring that no one in the country with dan to question the regime's power is a political strategy. and a life insurance policy against the rest of the wells, the palmed, with a compulsory loyalty of its own people like him, dentist, he is determined to keep the rest of the world. but arms length, the
