I was amazed to hear that North Koreans were screened foreign movies


Contrary to what I’ve heard on YouTube so far about North Korea, I was surprised to learn from a travel vlogger that North Korean citizens do get screened some foreign films.

In the video linked below, the DPRK tour guide Kim mentions watching Baahubali (timestamp included):

It’s interesting — and honestly a bit relieving — to know that their citizens get even a small glimpse of outside cinema, given how isolated the country usually is.
