Okay, so this may be pretty disturbing for people that can't stand the thought of people dying and stuff. But this is a documentary about North Korea. Most of it was filmed secretly, but from what I know, it was shown on cable TV. The cruely of Kim Jong Il.. Wow.. That man is worse than Hitler. Anyways, here's the link to it, and there are subtitles. They interview real people who escaped from North Korea to China or South Korea. I will rate this about a PG-13. The link. |

darn my slow connection...its not coming up right....i saw enough of it tho...its horrible what the north korean citizens are going through i did see 2 programs on tv about north korea...one was on discovery channel and the other was on cnn... one told about north korea documentary style...about how kim jung il came to power, and his leadership now...how his people are starving while he lives in luxury in a land thats been ravaged by famine, and how he is using nuclear threats the other, which i think is this one, told about a guy who was struggling to cross north koreans across the north korean border into china. he bribed n. korean soldiers with cigarettes, and made anti-government, anti-kimjungil grafitti (a poster) on a bridge, a crime which is punishable by death or very harsh punishment. but he taped it, and broadcast it to the world, so that we all know what is going on there. it was so terrible...kids laying dead in the street with people just walking past the body, and kids starving, begging for a lil rice, and having to steal. it also told of the refugees who made it to china, but...if caught, the chinese gov't would send them back, to harsh harsh punishment...the only safe place to go was an embassy, i believe it was the s.korean one, or the u.s. one...but they had to make it inside first...none made it, they were stopped at the gate, and except for a little girl, all were caught and sent back, and are believed to be dead...and it also told of some boys who crossed the river border back and forth to get stuff for their families in n. korea... its so completely heartbreaking...i wish we could more...my hatred for kim jung il is without limit... |

I don't think we have an embassy in NK. But at the beginning of the "Korean Conflict", many families could not decide who would win. The US had been pretty much "spent out" over WWII. And now ANOTHER war and this time CHINA is involved!?? So they bet 50/50, and sent half of their kids one way, and half another. I had dinner, in 1999, with the president of a broadcast equipment company, in Seoul. He hadn't seen his brother in FIFTY YEARS. He had no idea if he was alive (NOT likely). This is why, logically it seems so dumb, for SK to welcome NK like they do. But in many/most cases---THAT's THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS not some group in Rwanda, or somewhere. Jay's video, caused me to so much more appreciate the efforts of Jjang Nara, and LSY, at helping the HUMANS living north of the "38th parallel". //Seoul |

vic, it was an embassy inside china... the refugees also had to fear n.korean spies in china looking for them...they also said the n. korean spies are even more numerous in s.korea have you seen the movie "taegukgi"? such an excellent movie that deals with just what you spoke about with that radio president. how the korean war seperated families. |

I still didn't get to watch Taegookki. 'Cause I want to watch it in Korean w/o subs. Yeah.. subs tend to bother me while I'm watching a movie unless it's in a language I don't understand :P Anyways, my friend's brother once told me about a story of a North Korean girl who escaped with her family. Her family (father and mother) were caught and killed, and they hid her to protect her. She escaped to S.Korea then came to America. I think she wrote a book.. I'm not sure though. Anyways, Angelo if you saw something on the Discovery Channel, it might have been this since this was broadcasted on DC. And how can you live knowing that your killing your own people and watching them suffer? How can you take the charity that other people are giving out of their own kindness and selling it on the black market? It's makes me so grateful though.. There was an exitbit in LA I think last year or in '04 where kids in NK drew pictures of what it's like in NK. It was in a plaza near my old house, and when I saw that, it make me cry. Yes, I am dramatic, but if you saw those drawings and the pictures of the kids there. Wow. I remember this one picture that a little kid drew of his family. His mother was lying on the floor of this really small house nearly bare. And the description of the picture was underneath, and it said something like, "My mother always used to take her clothes off so that I would be warm. She died by starvation and the cold." Wow, I wrote a lot. I'll write more later when I get rid of my headache >< |
