I got the feeling this whole resort got opened, and most of the people we saw got bussed in, once they found out that a foreign film maker was coming to ski there. No one on the steep slopes except those dudes who were obviously military/security and a few people on the learner slopes when they turn up to film. No one in the hotel at breakfast. Dudes starting up the lifts when they arrive. Dudes sweeping off weeks of snow from the roof. This is a country where people are starving, would be surprised if a ski resort can function for a full season. Cool film though.
Stfu Just cause they dont know how to ski perfect (perhaps because they have barely any mountains) doesnt mean they are suffering in any way. Perhaps they dont have mcdonalds or youtube, but no one is homeless also, nothing is black or white.
but also, I am sure any people who ski in NK can just ski their local mountain, the whole country is one big ski resort essentially so the need to pay for a resort is not there to begin with and they obviously dont have much disposable income, theyre probably just skiing whereever they want like people do in the US on public land
Yeah, what's really going on here? Would he be there if NK didn't want him there, perhaps to show off the resort? Otoh, with those accommodations someone must use the place right? Is it just off-season? But yeah, it's just not adding up. I think Reeya likes (liked) him though.
Awesome film!! Great work!! I grew up with & went to school with Sam. Such a cool, down to earth, genuine guy! I remember that cheeky smile & grin! So awesome to see him thriving & doing so well! Success couldnt go to a more deserving guy. lots of love to you brother xxoo
One of the many surreal moments was the old Berlin subways I was still riding here in the 1980s arriving in the station. Chances are I have been in that very wagon...
@@darrentylor5473 to be honest that rail wagon looks amazing - I wish we could ride on one like that (with aircon though)! Their subway foyer is so much better designed than ours too.
The look of fear on his face when he instinctively said he’s had a blast. Imagine living like that 24/7. I hope the lady who fell did not get sent to a workhouse for embarrassing the nation if front of westerner. Thanks for making it.
Wow that shot of her with the fireworks behind her. Beautiful. Says so much in her eyes that "i will never see you again and I dont want you to leave" look
It's interesting at the 13:00 mark the workers aren't particularly doing much at all. Just seemingly scraping the snow. Especially the guy by himself with the shovel upside down.
Come on dude do you really think it's all fake? If you really think about, and I mean really think about, does our country like North Korea? No. So of course we are told a biased opinion because our country doesn't like them, meaning we don't like them. I don't think North Korea is as bad as we are told. I believe we are only told the worst information and even some fake information. Just because we live in a country does it suddenly makes our country better than any others? No because we are told all the good things we do by our own government and our allied governments. We know nothing and in reality we will never know the truth. Our country and allied country's are just as "evil" as those we see as the same. We are not hero's. We are all humans.
@@lubomir93x Evil and good are artificial constructs. In the evolutionary point of view the more energy a civilization has. The more advanced they are.
This is beautiful and heartbreaking. I wish the best for these people and I hope they can all have the opportunity to choose to try this. I know the government is complicated (at best)... I love skiing and I would love for everyone to have a chance. It's a beautiful country that has many attractions. I hope we solve our situations diplomatically and not through other means. We are are people at the end of the day... Regardless wherever we come from.
What, regime overthrow? Please, we fund Saudi Arabia and let brown people get executed by their regime everyday for shit like bouncing a cheque or marrying a loval arab.... We aint the one to judge em how they live. Lets fix ourselves first as there are quite alot of issues here in the west like exorbitant taxes and # MeToo ruining traditional social values.
This was a really well made video, just kinda scary.. feels like they just made that ski resort for whenever one person visits to prove they have something.
What happened at the end of the movie right before you enter the airport? 18:33 when you guys notice something after you say you’ve had a blast? Nobody is talking about it.
Notice at 12min the resort employees walking in step like military! Damn! Great video and very interesting, and sort of creepy to see how empty the place is.
Music is great. I see its all original! I tried to shazam the first song, but it didn't register. Its a banger! I want the song. Also, very interesting ski trip. Thanks for documenting it! Sorry you didnt have better snow.

They certainly are masters at making you believe or see what they want you to. Even the handlers are experts in putting on happy faces and playing the parts of well wishing fun havers. At least you got to ski on virgin snow since no one had probably skied there since the last high ranking DPKR member or foreigner came through.
Masters? I wouldn't say. It's obviously a show. They just dont allow you to go where they don't want you to, pretty simple. But if they're trying to make us believe or see a happy resort? Yeah no, they didn't master that at all.
@@ZZubZZero those handlers play the happy go lucky, wanna be hanging out with these guys, game. They make you believe you're awesome and they're happy, but I'm guessing when you're not around them they're a bit more cool and calculated and discussing what they know
This should have more views. The editing is suppppppper unique!!!! Music, slow motion and editing and angels ….. all super cool I wanna try this . How’d you do it? Does this editing style have a name?
What an interesting video! I never knew they'd have a ski center in North Korea. Must have been an interesting experience. Thanks for the video - loved it! Lotta/Lanttimatkat
They actually have a few brand new structures for a bunch of privileged: one ski resort, one aqua parc with daulphines, one pizza resturant, one ice rink but everytime it's a bit up to date. I say one and not a/an because they probably don't have money for more.
Thanks for this interesting doco. I guess the only way you get to experience the place and show it to others is by being diplomatic and non judgemental. Otherwise it's just not going to happen. I had no idea this place existed.
Hi Emci. We're stoked you like the music. It is all done by our extremely talented friend, Danny Fairley. You can check out more of his stuff here: www.mirrorsaudio.co.nz/
So I guess this is where the North outshines the South when it comes to the Korea's. I skied S.K. for a month while I was asking for my father in law's permission to marry his daughter. On S.K ski hills, they don't like, speed, jumping, powder or anything off the path... If you had nose buttered in S.K like you did in N.K, they would have followed you down the hill and asked to see your pass...

There was no consulate or embassy briefing. The meeting was held at Koryo Tours.
Hhahaahhaha so worth going back and reading the list of rules!!!
Beautiful presentation of their ski resort. Notice how polite and charming your two women guides were.
These Ladies are political personel designated to show "correct" view of north korea, so it is their job
Really enjoyed that video! Love the editing; it's got great rhythm throughout. Sweeeet!
Looks like a great place to rip some SG turns on the long boards without worrying about errant Jerrys.

Fun fact, the underground train is a german U-bahn, and is around 60 years old xd
now THAT's a skiing movie.

What is the song from 16:00 - 16:25 Tried looking for the artist's work from the link, tried shazam, got nothing.
same here

Once unified, To go there and skiing all day is on my wishlist.
Hope that day come as soon as possible.
Or go now, why have western propaganda ruin an empty skii slope? You do know what happened to Eastern European women when capitalism came along right?

I bet they had a blast with the guides 😁
Amazing video!!! I really enjoyed the way this wad filmed
mind blown!
When you film yourself skiing why is the lift never moving?
They turn on the lift for the two of them
That isn't true. There's 1 lift not moving but at least 1 list is moving. Go to any ski resort; not every lift is used all the time.
Mayen an odd question but what Ski did you use there Sam?
