2013 DPRK Travelogue by Chrystian Cohen
As the tension on the Korean peninsula increases, a fascinating new travel documentary film entitled "DPRK: The Land of Whispers (North Korea Travel Documentary) (2013) by Polish-American filmmaker Chrystian Cohen has recently gone somewhat viral on the web.
Cohen, who is based in Hanoi, took the train into Pyongyang with the hope and ambition of capturing a more meaningful experience. Prior to departure, he cleverly worked out a deal where he would film and produce a five-minute promo video for the tour company in exchange for the unusual permission to film his complete tour of the Hermit Kingdom. Join Cohen and a group of other foreign tourists as they travel through Pyongyang, Mount Paektu, Chongjing and Wonsan in this very interesting and humorous one hour film:

Via ABC News (Australia) April 10, 2013
While the Korean peninsula remains in a state of high alert, one of the DPRK's former top spies recently revealed many secrets about how the Hermit Kingdom operates and also about its 1987 bombing of Korean Air Flight 858.
