A team of skateboarders were not allowed to skate in Pyongyang, so the video maker of the group,
Patrik Wallner, turned his camera to the
The 100th Birthday Celebration of Kim Il Sung in North Korea and created a beautiful short documentary of the eternal leader's big birthday extravaganza. From their
Virtualtravelling website:
Traveling to Hermit Kingdom is already bizarre enough, but when we heard that North Korea would be celebrating the
100 year anniversary of the Great Leader & eternal president, Kim Il-sung, there was no way to let such an epic birthday
party slip through our hands. Laurence Keefe, Kirill Korobkov and I flew over to Pyongyang for two days to witness the
madness. While skateboarding within the DPRK was our main intention, it was overshadowed by the celebrations & the
'no sliding' anywhere rule. The three minute clip portrays a small insight into North Korea from the 15th of April 2012.
And here is the clip entitled "
Kim Il Sung's Birthday Party":
