    • @whatno5090
      @whatno5090 5 месяцев назад

      its entirely possible it could just be a language barrier. north korean has a lot of different words than south korean for various concepts, it especially wouldn't be surprising if something as related to north korean ideology as "days off" had different translations in north korea than south korea.
      this guy admitted a lot of information about the camps, it would be weird for him to choose to lie about this one thing.

    I feel like Vice is not being sensitive to how harshly the North Koreans they have talked to may or may not be punished. The workers that they gave beers to ended up being carted off by the leader of the camp to who knows where, and will probably get in big trouble for having talked to them. It's very obvious how invasive and rude the reporters are being by basically saying "hey we heard this is a shity place and we want to come videotape your shity lives." Number one, that's just offensive to the people, and beyond that, the Koreans are forced to by their country to defend what is happening, or otherwise face trial as someone who is betraying their country. I understand Vice wants to expose this sort of thing, and that it needs to be done, but I believe that it should be done in a more careful manner.

    3:10 A subtle difference, but the North Korean worker actually said, “What’s there to like [here]?”-not “Here isn’t anything to like.”
    By posing it as a rhetorical question, this man invited us to imagine life through his eyes-what really is there to like about being conscripted to work for years in a foreign country away from your family and friends, to work under constant surveillance and pressure to meet unreasonable expectations everyday, only to see his meager wages largely garnished by his government.
