- North Korea is one of the worst dictatorships in the world. A closed country, to which foreigners rarely gain entry. Every April 15th, the entire population is required to celebrate the birthday of deceased president Kim il Sung, founder of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. After his death, his son, Kim Jong il, came to power, but declared himself ’General’, and appointed his father ‘Eternal President’. Kim il Sung is therefore the only dead president still in power. The April 15th Celebrations, known as the ’Spring Festival’ is an excellent propaganda opportunity for the regime to showcase its cultural accomplishments and demonstrate its power. In a country where a third of the population don’t have enough to eat, the state spends obscene amounts of money organising these festivities, which have only one purpose: to celebrate the power and modernity of North Korea and the greatness of its two leaders, father and son.
It is also an opportunity for the most closed country in the world to open its doors just enough for us to peer in and admire its artists, performing in theatres which will spend the rest of the year empty. In this living museum of communism, the population wakes up every morning to the sound of loud speakers, singing the presidents’ praises. Here, the role of the arts is to educate the masses. The musicians are soldiers, and North Korea is a giant barrack.
‘Celebrations of Spring’ is a journey into the last bastion of Stalinism, offering rare insight into life in a strange and terrifying totalitarian ideology usually hidden from the outside world.
This documentary was first released in 2009.

That was some shade. "their bellies may have been empty but their ears were full of music." you can't write shit that funny and no expect someone to not notice lmao!
The music @22:39 is 🔥. 10/10 would put in a soundtrack
I agree
You must be deaf!
It sounded more like they were playing 3 different "songs"..
And the drummer... 🤯at 22.31-ish... what the F ?
Smashing those cymbals as if tried to kill a fly...
If I were working in that room, I'd cut the electricity at once..🤨🤬💩🤦♂️🤯
Song at 0:26 ?
Whats funny is the birth date of Kim is the day Titanic sank LMAFO
Yup
I agree with him about jazz!
You think hip hop is any better?!
Jazz, hiphop, rap, any American music after 2000 is 🤮💩🤯🤦♂️🤬💩💩💩💩
Oh, man, I just want to see North Koreans liberated from this crazy Kim family while I’m still alive.
I concur
it will never happen. since china and russia will never allow the us to put massive military bases in the north. which obviously they would do.
Even the makeup was gifted by kim jong il😂
Watching this make me sick, how evil and depraved ppl can be and how they can destroy whole generations life's. Ppl are not perfect in general and whole world is big mess but this is beyond imagination, systems like this
I wonder if they know that their existence is to play a character in a play for one man on a planet of 8 Billion people? Like so many ants in the glass ant farm on a little boy's night stand.
Is it ne or did the Kims copy Christianty?
When you read what they're singing about, you would think they're chanting the Psalms.
Father like son !!!!👍
Ppl are starting to realize the lies. Those ppl are not dumb. They're smart enough to know and smart enough not to say. They do have smugglers. They're starting to get information from the outside n thats why there's so many defectors.
Those fleeing do so because they are the product of a closed and restrictive social and personal environment in itself and not because they are aware of the ways of outside world.
A good represive regime lords over a population that cannot even imagine what abundance is.
People looking in from the outside are often shocked to know that the North Korean language doesnt have the word Love or its equivalent in its vocabulary.
@The All Seeing Eye How it is possible that some language doesn't have word for love ? In what way a mother there says to her child "I love you"?
This is the first NK video that shows the obvious false worship of human 'god' . Made out the essence of life comes from the Kim's. You read about false and idol worship in the bible but it is fascinating seen it in a modern world country.

@Mister Smiley good question, hmm let's see. I live in a liberal run America city so there's crime, bums, needles, aids and poop everywhere. Hunkered down strapped in my pad and I see the dystopia in the streets, why would u have any shame when people can just poop wherever and when ever they want. So does that answer your question you soy cuck
Bad ass ugly, yes
Sad reality
Their crappy music makes hating them that much easier.
Don't hate the people, hate the government.

It’s amazing how the kin family can get all those people to be their puppets ..
Amazing, not in a good way, but amazing how wonderfully ignorant the people are.
Must have good hearts

inspite of all the partial criticism it looks a pretty orderly and decent place to live
Lol
Like controlled you mean? In the movie 'sleeping with the enemy' the house was in perfect order and a place for everything etc yet the husband controlled every detail of how the wife was to function, she had to think continuously what he wanted all the time and that she did not do anything to make him angry, or suffer consequences.
She was a prisoner ...until she escaped!
