Inside North Korea Video

Many of us have grown up our whole lives in the United States. Our government and the constitution that created it and the rights and freedoms that we have re almost invisible to us. One way to begin to understand the nature of American Government, is to compare our government to other forms of government around the world. In this video, we will look inside the modern, totalitarian government of North Korea. As you watch the film, think about the following quote from the film:

"As I watched hundreds of people say and do the same thing over and over again, I wondered which people had genuine faith and which were acting out of fear. Then I realized, here, after generations of absolute rule and indoctrination there might not be a difference between true faith and true fear.”
