a tall order. photograph of the deer leader line, the museum wolves. it's hard to move the camera without breaking the golden rule. it feels like a wasted trip. but afterwards, a surprise, just as we're about to interview, but i'm not expected visitor arrives when mother very famous actors and the total is a need to visit it should keep me posted. indeed, content i want to be a patrick for an actor. was the difference between the patrick and an actor cotton's got mad at that as a peer with whom you done that. i had included you

you can go to what are the so you're going to do it, a simple scene extolling the virtues of the countries health care system. but here in north korea, even comedy, so the higher purpose, one of the mini chairs, you have to have a mission and having no one meetings. so we so we want to turn our group it's bitingly cold. the next day minus 6 degrees celsius in the sun. and we don't on said it's also freezing. most of the crew are in thick winter clothing. but for obama, you and me and the fellow actors, there's no such luxury. they're dressed for their parts cold,

given some good they use it and they don't the completion of the message. we've heard many times throughout the week the message they're trained to convey to their countrymen the belief they exist in a perfect world. a place to really the stuff in the me i use

. i mean, when i was growing up in the 90s in north korea, that's when there was curious, economy was collapsing, and there were stop providing the food and the pub ration to us. so people had to find their ways to survive, which means engaging in black markets, that through brown market, the people was able to getting this small go to black d v d 's from china. so i was, you know, i was lucky to able to access this, also the information. and i remember for the 1st time watching movies, titanic, and as a young girl watching titanic, it was a complete shock that i just couldn't believe why anyone in his word, in omega movie, out of such

a shame for story is school. i do not learn about william you in jewel it. everything that i learned in government was being revolutionary and dying for the regime. and suddenly you, you see a movie made out by this chain for story and at the end, oh man, by for the woman. and i never seen anything like that. and that's a nice party to really fear that maybe in the outside world is not the monstrous and scary place and are so maybe, you know, god is humanity that the human being and maybe that's freedom. i watch in garlands a made films was sold is boring, and it was so that it didn't come leg to read. and my schuman fillings are, even though you know i, i wasn't going to be no coach. oh,

where they were. she laugh like in the west, but still love is such a human nature. when i was told and listening, it's like a foreign dvds and movies and songs. everything goes songs all the all about she miss truckers, human feelings, love and something that humans daily experience. but the things that made by the government in north korea, it was really very a lot relevant to how i felt as a human being. so was say, no, i really tasted this. i grew for information. i could only connect to this, they propose that fillings. of course i couldn't say this because if i did, i was going to be executed and $3.00 and so my family was going to be wiped out. i 25 millions of north koreans are trapped in this hermit kingdom. and only a few may did,

and i am one of those few people was so lucky to be able to stay in this living this freedom. so i am working with a lot of groups in south korea and america to get information the i'll said information that the labor in my mind. so we are getting the same formation smuggling through china to north korea. and these information are, it is actually just a hidden revolution. i. the biggest thing with north korea is that on to the diesel. also the information came in that we did not know they, we were oppressed. and imagine that if you don't know you are pressed that you don't know your slave. how do you fight to be free? and this information they're going in to north korea are telling us koreans that they are pressed, and they are in slaves. and they can be freed on they too. so this information i

believe is the only hope that will change north korea. repeat my people. i in 2011 out. they were reported from tanzania on the sinister trade in the body. parts of l. b knows. this is where they put it right here and on the spot rewind, revisit the survivor. mutilated to service, the rituals of witchcraft. when you go to rewind, spell of the l. b. no, on our 0. the native need. the brakes north of doing the best job you can, we've seen one water pay 2 teen at wells far further. with detail covering the government says the taliban is relying on human shields and losing people shot them
