Disney Pyongyang — Where the Fiction and Fun Never Stops Pouring

by R. Elgin on May 21, 2007

Overwhelmed by the lack of any meaningful truth or human values, some people seem to have resorted to using movies and fiction to explain and explore the strange place that is North Korea and its capital, Pyongyang. Here is a video of the real Ryugyong Hotel in Pyongyang. I suppose this is not the sort of film KJI had in mind when he thinks of film. Fiction Pyongyang, by Joseph Grima, Stefano Boeri and Armin Linke.
