They used all the North Korean State released videos, not like they went there and shoot it for us. All they shot was those few interviews. And the 2 Aunt / Uncle couple that was real "hard" to find, they didn't even show them 😅
I love how this documentary started with: "Yes, this is the terrible North Korean dictator's life and how he rose to power" and we ended with: "Yeah, but the sister is worse".
It is actually crazy to learn about how exactly he killed his brother, and how complex the operation was, and the fact the girls who killed him didn't even know they were killing him and thought it was just a prank. That is just crazy.
@@moottori_paa It’s still crazy. Don’t try and act like this CCTV footage and first hand accounts of a legitimate modern political assassination wasn’t crazy.
Agreed. We always hear about the facade presented for tourists. I've seen lots of those, at this point. And the goose-stepping marches, and festivals with citizens weeping with "joy." But this was a different perspective!!! To me, the brother -- and especially the terrifying sister -- were the most surprising bits.
I like how he scans the room to see who's not clapping hard enough. Then when he's done, he gives a slight hand gesture and everyone stops immediately.
I'll always remember a interview with a ex North Korean army soldier. When he came to the U.S. and went to a grocery store he couldn't believe it he thought it had to be propaganda. Then he had them stop at another random store. He cried saying it was real because there's no way of guessing he whould stop twice. He was just in awe. Very sad tbh.
I remember many similar stories like that but they were shocked how life was hard in the west or outside North Korea... so in the end some returned back to North Korea
Wow. I learned so much I didn't know about North Korea and I've watched tons of documentaries on the subject. This is the type of investigative journalism that brings the truth out rather than being biased towards a specific view. NatGeo always delivers.
Same here. I learned a few things. When i saw the news by those so call western medias, it only show the killing part. They never mention about the CIA regime change part. If you think about it, the CIA was responsible for Kim half brother death. I got curious and look up famous operations by the CIA. It seem they're well known for putting ruthless dictators on the throne. The most infamous episodes include the ousting of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh in 1953 - whose government was replaced by an authoritarian monarchy favorable to Washington - the removal and assassination of Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba in 1961, and the violent toppling of socialist Chilean President Salvador Allende, whose government was swept aside in 1973 by a military coup led by the ruthless Gen. Augusto Pinochet. (American dad made a episode on this one with the dancing dictator?) CIA involvement in coup 1965 is one great example on how the west took sides by supplying weapons, made propaganda and indirectly killed more than 3 million innocent lives. Their strategy is based on "divide and conquer". This document was declassified by CIA because many activists around the globe condemn the war crimes of US and their allies. Not only that, CIA overthrew the legit president of indonesia and replaced it with a corrupt Suharto who supported the US. That's how US mining company 'freeport' got hold of indonesian biggest gold mine. In 1954, Washington unseated Guatemala's left-wing president, Jacobo Arbenz, who had had the temerity to challenge the vast control of the United Fruit Co., a U.S. corporation, with agrarian laws that would be fairer to Guatemalan farmers. The CIA went on to install and back a series of right-wing dictatorships that brutalized the impoverished nation for almost half a century. CIA always worked with NED. (National Endowment for Democracy). They always try to destabilize any country with different ideology. All started way back after the end of world war 2, the cold war started. US sees other ideology as dangerous and feel the need to bring democracy to all countries, so in other words, every US presidents starting from harry s truman are all involved. Believing democracy as a perfect system that all countries MUST adopt. This made US act aggressively and invade nations with different ideology, creating wars and chaos around the globe. --F Liu

Ever since I was a kid, I've been watching National Geographic. They always have the best documentaries. Them teaming up with RUclips is so awesome now that cable TV isn't like it used to be. Top notch video as always.
I wonder, if that young lady put the oil with the poisonous nerve agent on her hands, how come she did not die? In the video it looks like she (and maybe that other young lady, that is not clear) rubbed that oil on Kim Jong Nam's face standing behind him, and about 20 minutes later he died.
2:30 I’ve watched the video for 3 times ,and I still can’t help laughing when it comes to the scene that everyone immediately hold back their clapping and began writing when their supprime leader ordered them to.😅

Nevertheless, at a certain age you cross into adulthood and whether your parents were evil or not, to be good or evil (I acknowledge Im being ultra simplistic) is a choice.
No, we need to go back to the age of imperialism and conquering. today’s society is so hyper sensitive and worried about people judging their race or misgendering them. I was just thinking our generation doesn’t know what it feels like to be so culturally unified to your fellow country men and fight in a war for something that you truly believe in like the 30’s Germany, 60’s China, 50’s Korea, 20-50’s Soviet. Growing up like that just creates a generation of super men- fearless; today we are fearful

That security detail with the suits looked pretty badass ... And I'd love to learn more about the tunnel network and escape routes, it sounds fascinating.
I am shocked they were able to get such good footage of the Kim family, as well as those interviews! I think this provides a compelling explanation for Kim jon un ‘s behavior
I am waiting for the National Geographic documentary on U.S bombing during the Korean War which killed 3 Millions civilians, yes you heard it well 3 Millions North Korean civilians died under U.S bombing, maybe this could explain the Kim dynasty paranoia. BTW there are great footage about this bombing too, you will be delighted!

@@CKxperience maybe after having set up a government in which a people should no longer live like in a large concentration camp… I would say that thinking about having ski slopes built is a little less important !
It's actually pretty clever. So the cheeks are most sensible to VX, 25 times more so than the palms of your hands. So the same amount of VX on your cheeks will lead to 25 times higher blood concentration than absorbtion throough your palms. It's deadly in very small amounts so they can carry multiple fatal doses each on their hands and themselves be at relatively minor risk. And the first thing they did was dash to the bathroom and wash their hands extensively using cold water which absorbs VX much better than hot water and by using two first of all they had a higher chance of sucess and each was only carrying some multiples of a lethal dose, reducing the risk to the attackers. Had Nam known what was happening and immediately washed his face with water and gotten the correct medical care he would have been fine. It's extremely lethal but survivable with medical care. It's just that medical care would not be available if they dropped it on a city and by being so deadly a relatively small amount delivered by an number of means such as airburst artillery shells, can blanket a city and kill millions. Many people think nukes are the worst, I would argue chemical weapons are just as bad and biological weapons are way worse. The CIA could infect someone in Australia with a bio weapon and it could end up wiping out the US population. Of course North Korea made somewhat of a hobby out of making VX, as sort of an insurance against the very expensive and cumbersome nuclear program not working out. I think they have 5000 t of it and a few kg could wipe out a city, if you factor in most of it won't be effective if your just dropping it everywhere. Finally one of the women did begin to vomit shorty afterwards which is a symptomof very light expose and VX is not volatile which explains why the ER workers and medics did not get poisened. Like they said this was very old school cold war stuff.
Thank you for decades of awesome reporting and documentaries which capture the human condition so well. We appreciate you National Geographic! Keep doing what you do!!!
I'm glad they haven't bowed to the Woke...That said , funny timing on the release, look deeper, I'm betting we go to some kind of conflict with them soon !! CIA controls stuff like this, they have operatives in EVERY news station and such

Go live there then and experience with your own eyes how it feels. You wouldn’t even last a day. You have 1 braincell if you think kim jong un and north korea are good
Did anyone notice @ 21:50 when one girl was not crying and cheering for Kim Jong Un while the rest of the kids were? He noticed and approached this little girl and even sat beside her. Genuinely worried for her and family. when North Koreans clap for their leader, they’re not clapping because they like him, or support him. They’re clapping for their lives.
I don"t think she has fear. She is maybe so brainwashed that she believes to have a living god in front of her. Approaching him is the most cherished desire of north Koreans, as kids there are not aware of the outside world and life style. The personality cult is obvious for us, not for them.
I love to watch national geographic videos. Their video and sound quality is superab and. Wow! It's so amazing to see what they are doing. Am always supporting them.
If you start to analyze it, in the world most of the northern part is rich, for example in America, North America is richer, the same in Europe, but with the Koreas this is the other way around.
I remember watching this on TV like 2 years ago I think? Such a good series I'm glad it's on RUclips now. I really liked the intro with the guitar too 1:08
There's nobody willing to oppose them, so they have nothing to fear by basically rubbing it in people's faces. There's zero consequences with all the benefits of instilling even more fear.
It was really a good experience to know that much about an isolated king and country, I couldn't stop myself to subscribe the national geographic.loved it!
And what did you really know about NK? "They are bad. They were bad. They are poor and bad. They are doing bad things". You are just propaganda consumer.
It is deplorable to see the positive tone of the presentation of the material, given how people live in this country. Power built on rivers of blood, pain, destroyed/broken lives... Look at the video of people who shot there not openly. Amazing is the positive tone of propaganda from Nat Geo, an attempt to change the minds of people in the western world/USA through such a pathetic semblance of "documentary" material.

Its just not the stuff you wanted to see I guess, but it’s generally good. And links perfectly with the video’s title. Different sided nk doc, that’s why i loved this one.

I'm impressed with the quality of the documentary. This is the kind of NatGeo I remember growing up watching on TV.

Those were the best!
your impressed with this main stream media garbage
Dazzle me with your unbridled, creative and researched content, please. I’ll subscribe to your channel.
@@vidfuel12 And what are you one of those Fox News brainwashed fools? Ironically Fox is the most mainstream of them all..
That security detail with the suits looked pretty badass ... And I'd love to learn more about the tunnel network and escape routes, it sounds fascinating.
I am shocked they were able to get such good footage of the Kim family, as well as those interviews! I think this provides a compelling explanation for Kim jon un ‘s behavior
thank me later
I am waiting for the National Geographic documentary on U.S bombing during the Korean War which killed 3 Millions civilians, yes you heard it well 3 Millions North Korean civilians died under U.S bombing, maybe this could explain the Kim dynasty paranoia.
BTW there are great footage about this bombing too, you will be delighted!

Hey where are you from
@@robcox9897 me ?
Can someone please help explain to me why the two women weren't affected by the nerve agent? I can't wrap my head around it.
It's actually pretty clever. So the cheeks are most sensible to VX, 25 times more so than the palms of your hands. So the same amount of VX on your cheeks will lead to 25 times higher blood concentration than absorbtion throough your palms. It's deadly in very small amounts so they can carry multiple fatal doses each on their hands and themselves be at relatively minor risk. And the first thing they did was dash to the bathroom and wash their hands extensively using cold water which absorbs VX much better than hot water and by using two first of all they had a higher chance of sucess and each was only carrying some multiples of a lethal dose, reducing the risk to the attackers.
Had Nam known what was happening and immediately washed his face with water and gotten the correct medical care he would have been fine. It's extremely lethal but survivable with medical care. It's just that medical care would not be available if they dropped it on a city and by being so deadly a relatively small amount delivered by an number of means such as airburst artillery shells, can blanket a city and kill millions. Many people think nukes are the worst, I would argue chemical weapons are just as bad and biological weapons are way worse. The CIA could infect someone in Australia with a bio weapon and it could end up wiping out the US population.
Of course North Korea made somewhat of a hobby out of making VX, as sort of an insurance against the very expensive and cumbersome nuclear program not working out. I think they have 5000 t of it and a few kg could wipe out a city, if you factor in most of it won't be effective if your just dropping it everywhere.
Finally one of the women did begin to vomit shorty afterwards which is a symptomof very light expose and VX is not volatile which explains why the ER workers and medics did not get poisened. Like they said this was very old school cold war stuff.

Go live there then and experience with your own eyes how it feels. You wouldn’t even last a day. You have 1 braincell if you think kim jong un and north korea are good
It's the power. It gets to you when you have so much of it. He's scared to lose it, just like the documentary said
He controls a whole country who worship him as a god. It’s not difficult to see the allure.
I mean, it makes sense. If he tries something so counter intuitive to what the regime is used to, it could cost him his life.
SALUTE TO THE WHOLE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC STAFF CAMERA MEN TO MAKE THIS DOCU, THIS IS BEST OF THE BEST DOCU EVER.
Huge props to all the production 👏🏽 . Brining us all the news other media won't give
Yes and that is because its no place for every news in one channel, it is what they pick I think. We all are biased
@@piecerich7628 this video shows neutrality. But we have to analyze to seek truth.
Did anyone notice @ 21:50 when one girl was not crying and cheering for Kim Jong Un while the rest of the kids were? He noticed and approached this little girl and even sat beside her. Genuinely worried for her and family.
when North Koreans clap for their leader, they’re not clapping because they like him, or support him. They’re clapping for their lives.
That’s concerning. Thanks for pointing it out 👏🏽
I don"t think she has fear. She is maybe so brainwashed that she believes to have a living god in front of her. Approaching him is the most cherished desire of north Koreans, as kids there are not aware of the outside world and life style. The personality cult is obvious for us, not for them.
Yep
Kristin....Literally
Thank God someone else noticed. Dude shoved the happy girl to look into the ones cowering in fear.
18:00 minutes in and it's by far one of the most fascinating documentaries I've ever watched.

I love history. I didn’t find that out til I left school. School really wrecks interest in just about everything doesn’t?
Absolutely brilliantly researched and presented documentary. Thank you. ❤
Thanks national geography for all the valuable documentaries
What I find enlightening is that the horror of North Korea was achieved with only two generations of dictators.
3. Kim Jong Un is the 3rd successor. His Grandfather started the dynasty.

I cannot believe that one of the assassins actually is speaking about what happened, it is mind blowing

There's nobody willing to oppose them, so they have nothing to fear by basically rubbing it in people's faces. There's zero consequences with all the benefits of instilling even more fear.

It was really a good experience to know that much about an isolated king and country, I couldn't stop myself to subscribe the national geographic.loved it!
And what did you really know about NK? "They are bad. They were bad. They are poor and bad. They are doing bad things". You are just propaganda consumer.

Extremely good documentary. Very well done, high quality.
yes ooooooo
well it is made by nation geographic which had its own television network so i hope so
It is deplorable to see the positive tone of the presentation of the material, given how people live in this country. Power built on rivers of blood, pain, destroyed/broken lives...
Look at the video of people who shot there not openly. Amazing is the positive tone of propaganda from Nat Geo, an attempt to change the minds of people in the western world/USA through such a pathetic semblance of "documentary" material.

Unlike most NK documentary, this one is surprisingly insightful. Also well produced!
Without any mention of Dictator's Xi's control over dictator Kim Jong Un, how could you conclude that this documentary is insightful?

@@TheBandit7613 there are already so many nk docs lighting out the starvations executions etc, this doc is called ‘inside the mind of a dictator’ ‘a dictators dilemma’ they went a bit different in this one, more kind off explaining Kims past, his mentality, and what choices he has to make to keep the regime alive. Its just not the stuff you wanted to see I guess, but it’s generally good. And links perfectly with the video’s title. Different sided nk doc, that’s why i loved this one.

You mean like that? Or do you mean the thousands of other truths that this “documentary” doesn’t even speak on? I agree with you. It’s disgusting how we, here in the West, will fall for practically anything if we see it on a screen. 😔 I watched the doc, obviously. And I don’t know much on N.K., I admit that as well. But I will say this: I am so thankful for those individuals who are brave enough to stand up, educate the rest of us, and show REAL truths about everything that goes on there. All of it. The good, bad, and ugly. That’s the only way the people of N.K. can be helped & anything will ever have a chance of change - bringing it all to FULL light.
