I wonder if they allow most documentaries like this to happen around major celebrations so that people are already in a heightened state of control and the filmmakers see all of the preparations.

Seems like most I have seen are around a birthday or holiday.

It does look sorta nice- in a depressing Wes Anderson kinda way.

So few people in most of the shots. Pretty amazing to ski in though.

Here's another video that doesn't have quite the propaganda feel to it. Professional skier, Sam Smoothy, skis Masikryong. Wonder what the penalty is for ducking ropes in the DPRK?

Stupid question - Do people in NK have access to the internet? Also does the country have a self sustained economy?

This is like visiting berlin during WW2. Don't worry about the concentration camps, just ski and have a good time.

In the begging there was nothing and then grand Marshall Kin Jong Ill made a ski resort and it was good.

Lol

When the dude jumped the orange barrier I thought for sure he was a deadman

This documentary is straight up propaganda supported by Nat Geo.

Before Nat Geo went they had to sign a contract stating that any video footage had to be pre-approved before release. Basically, if they put anything negative in the video they wouldn't be able to release it. If they put out a negative video any Nat Geo journalists or staff would be denied future entry to the country.

Of course, Nate Geo is interested in money and future endeavours in North Korea so they oblige.

So yes this is propaganda.
