    Making a documentary on North Korea is a difficult task due to the intense shield of secrecy surrounding the country. When I started this I hoped that perhaps Alvaro Longoria had somehow managed to sneak spy-tech into Korea, leading to a groundbreaking feature. Sadly not; of course he couldn't. If he had, we would've seen the consequences. While Longoria raises interesting questions on propaganda and the West's role in this game, the documentary fails to go anywhere that other documentaries have left untouched.
