Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:08:27,700 --> 00:08:30,220
There is no freedom of religion.
2
00:08:30,350 --> 00:08:33,440
There is no freedom of thought,
there is no freedom of press.
3
00:08:33,570 --> 00:08:36,140
There is only one paper,
one radio station,
4
00:08:36,270 --> 00:08:37,660
there is one TV station.
5
00:08:37,790 --> 00:08:40,190
North Korea may be
the only country in the world
6
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,190
that completely bans
outside broadcasts.
7
00:08:47,190 --> 00:08:48,940
And spying on one another
8
00:08:49,070 --> 00:08:52,070
is very much a part of life
in North Korea.
9
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,330
You cannot move
from a place to place
without getting a permit.
10
00:08:54,460 --> 00:08:58,550
I would call the entire country
of North Korea really a prison.
11
00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:00,510
And it's strangest country
in the world.
12
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,470
It is the only communist, Confucian,
13
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,390
hereditary dynasty
in the world.
14
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,740
And Kim Jong-Un
has been very busy
15
00:09:08,870 --> 00:09:10,700
getting rid of any
potential threat.
16
00:09:10,830 --> 00:09:12,440
Within one year, he got rid
17
00:09:12,570 --> 00:09:14,440
of his number-two man
in North Korea,
18
00:09:14,570 --> 00:09:16,570
his uncle who helped him
garner power.
19
00:09:16,700 --> 00:09:19,270
He dragged him out
and publicly killed him.
20
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,400
Then he assassinated
his half-brother
21
00:09:21,530 --> 00:09:25,060
in a major international
airport using banned WMD.
22
00:09:25,190 --> 00:09:27,630
Then he got rid
of about 400 top officials.
23
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,280
We're now onto maybe 90th
Defense Minister, I lost count.
24
00:09:31,410 --> 00:09:33,720
Senior officials
have been executed
25
00:09:33,850 --> 00:09:36,810
by the use
of anti-aircraft guns.
26
00:09:36,940 --> 00:09:39,600
If you shoot a human
using artillery
27
00:09:39,730 --> 00:09:41,770
which is designed
to take down planes,
28
00:09:41,900 --> 00:09:43,860
you can imagine
the effect on the body.
29
00:09:43,990 --> 00:09:46,380
The only reason to do that
is for the fear
30
00:09:46,510 --> 00:09:48,300
that that will put
into the people
31
00:09:48,430 --> 00:09:50,260
that are gathered
and made to watch.
32
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:44,690
Do you remember
how old you were
33
00:12:44,820 --> 00:12:46,830
when you first saw
a public execution?
34
00:13:01,230 --> 00:13:02,890
Victims saw intimidation,
35
00:13:03,020 --> 00:13:05,580
murder, enslavement,
and torture,
36
00:13:05,710 --> 00:13:08,150
people whose loved ones disappeared
37
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:09,940
without trace.
38
00:13:10,070 --> 00:13:12,900
People who have been
deliberately starved.
39
00:13:13,030 --> 00:13:15,900
Forced abortions,
sterilization, rape,
40
00:13:16,030 --> 00:13:20,030
I mean, torture of the defectors
who get caught and returned.
41
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,780
The Chinese government
has a hard-line policy of,
42
00:13:26,910 --> 00:13:29,040
if they find
North Korean refugees,
43
00:13:29,170 --> 00:13:31,870
arresting them
and, uh, detaining them
44
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,310
and then forcibly sending them
back to North Korea
45
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,400
where they will face
investigation, torture,
46
00:13:38,530 --> 00:13:40,010
and a range
of harsh punishments.
47
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,100
Sometimes people will die
through torture
48
00:13:44,230 --> 00:13:47,100
and there's no recourse
for North Korean citizens,
49
00:13:47,230 --> 00:13:49,850
for their families
to complain about that.
50
00:13:54,810 --> 00:13:56,330
United Nations came out
51
00:13:56,460 --> 00:13:59,810
with a 400-page report
couple of years ago that says
52
00:13:59,940 --> 00:14:02,070
"North Korea's
Human Rights violations
53
00:14:02,210 --> 00:14:05,690
is unparalleled
in contemporary history."
54
00:14:05,820 --> 00:14:09,210
The only parallel they could
come up with is Nazi Germany.
55
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:24,840
Ah...
56
00:28:24,020 --> 00:28:26,590
In 1910,
the expanding Japanese empire
57
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,290
colonized what was then
a unified Korea.
58
00:28:29,420 --> 00:28:31,990
It was a very brutal colonization.
59
00:28:32,120 --> 00:28:33,600
Over the next 35 years,
60
00:28:33,730 --> 00:28:35,430
the Korean culture
and the Korean language
61
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,170
were nearly eradicated.
62
00:28:37,300 --> 00:28:40,040
At the end of World War II,
when Japan surrendered,
63
00:28:40,170 --> 00:28:42,650
they lost the empire
that they had been building.
64
00:28:42,780 --> 00:28:45,960
Let us pray that peace
be now restored to the world.
65
00:28:46,090 --> 00:28:48,660
Part of the settlement deal
was that Korea was split.
66
00:28:48,790 --> 00:28:50,090
The 38th parallel
67
00:28:50,220 --> 00:28:52,360
divided the United States
Army's area
68
00:28:52,490 --> 00:28:53,970
from that of the Soviet forces.
69
00:28:54,100 --> 00:28:55,400
The idea was that Korea
70
00:28:55,530 --> 00:28:57,190
would shortly
come back together
71
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,670
and then have control
over their own country.
72
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,580
In the meanwhile, the South
held a public election,
73
00:29:02,710 --> 00:29:05,850
and U.S.-educated Syngman Rhee
became the first president
74
00:29:05,980 --> 00:29:07,810
of what would become
South Korea.
75
00:29:07,940 --> 00:29:10,460
But in the North,
Stalin decided to look
76
00:29:10,590 --> 00:29:12,980
for a Soviet sympathizer
77
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:14,380
as a temporary leader
78
00:29:14,510 --> 00:29:16,550
in what would become
North Korea.
79
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,770
And this is where
Kim Il-Sung comes in.
80
00:29:19,900 --> 00:29:23,130
Kim Il-Sung had been born
in Korea in 1912,
81
00:29:23,260 --> 00:29:26,650
two years after the Japanese
occupied the country.
82
00:29:26,780 --> 00:29:29,960
His parents were very involved
in anti-Japanese activities,
83
00:29:30,090 --> 00:29:32,180
and when he was
just eight years old,
84
00:29:32,310 --> 00:29:34,480
his family moved to Manchuria.
85
00:29:35,570 --> 00:29:38,270
Kim Il-Sung joined
the Communist Party in China,
86
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,450
and he eventually actually
fought with the Soviet Union
87
00:29:41,580 --> 00:29:43,360
throughout World War II.
88
00:29:43,490 --> 00:29:47,320
Stalin heard about Kim Il-Sung
because of his reputation
89
00:29:47,450 --> 00:29:51,810
as a leader of several
anti-Japanese guerrilla groups.
90
00:29:51,940 --> 00:29:53,720
When Stalin brought him
to Pyongyang,
91
00:29:53,850 --> 00:29:56,160
Kim Il-Sung didn't even speak
good Korean.
92
00:29:56,290 --> 00:29:59,200
In fact, his speeches
had to be translated
into Korean
93
00:29:59,340 --> 00:30:00,900
and then rehearsed by him
94
00:30:01,030 --> 00:30:03,560
because he had basically
spoken Chinese
95
00:30:03,690 --> 00:30:05,120
since he was eight years old.
96
00:30:05,860 --> 00:30:07,560
Kim Il-Sung had the dream
97
00:30:07,690 --> 00:30:10,690
of re-unifying the Koreas
under Communism.
98
00:30:14,740 --> 00:30:16,740
Expanding upon
his guerilla contacts,
99
00:30:16,870 --> 00:30:20,360
he put together an army
and eventually got the support
100
00:30:20,490 --> 00:30:23,840
of both Stalin and Mao.
101
00:30:23,970 --> 00:30:25,010
On Sunday, June 25th,
102
00:30:25,140 --> 00:30:26,450
Communist forces attacked
103
00:30:26,580 --> 00:30:27,710
the Republic of Korea.
104
00:30:28,410 --> 00:30:31,150
The attack
was so sudden and forceful
105
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:35,330
that, very quickly, almost
all of South Korea was taken.
106
00:30:35,460 --> 00:30:37,630
In fact, there was only
a tiny pocket
107
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,160
at the bottom of the country
108
00:30:39,290 --> 00:30:40,860
that had not been claimed
by the North.
109
00:30:40,990 --> 00:30:43,210
An act of aggression
such as this
110
00:30:43,340 --> 00:30:46,250
must be met
with a worldwide defense.
111
00:30:46,380 --> 00:30:48,510
And a UN force
containing soldiers
112
00:30:48,650 --> 00:30:51,430
from 21 different countries
entered the war.
113
00:30:52,300 --> 00:30:55,300
What ensued was a brutal
three-year war.
114
00:30:55,430 --> 00:30:57,740
Nearly five million
people died,
115
00:30:57,870 --> 00:30:59,700
half of whom were civilians.
116
00:30:59,830 --> 00:31:02,220
South Korea lost
a million civilians
117
00:31:02,350 --> 00:31:03,570
just on their own.
118
00:31:03,700 --> 00:31:05,400
The United States
dropped a third
119
00:31:05,530 --> 00:31:06,840
as many bombs
on North Korea
120
00:31:06,970 --> 00:31:08,840
as it did
in all of World War II.
121
00:31:08,970 --> 00:31:12,450
And in the end,
nothing was achieved.
122
00:31:12,580 --> 00:31:16,630
In July of 1953,
an armistice was signed
123
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,240
and a ceasefire
was put in place.
124
00:31:19,370 --> 00:31:21,770
But technically speaking,
the war never ended,
125
00:31:21,900 --> 00:31:25,420
and the ramifications of that
are still with us today.
126
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,730
For a while, the
North Korean economy
127
00:37:22,870 --> 00:37:25,000
was more successful
than China's,
128
00:37:25,130 --> 00:37:27,090
maybe even better
than South Korea.
129
00:37:27,220 --> 00:37:28,700
And people pointed,
saying, "Oh, look,
130
00:37:28,830 --> 00:37:30,350
Communism really works."
131
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,700
But everything
was artificially propped up
132
00:37:32,830 --> 00:37:35,400
by the Soviet Union
and the Eastern Bloc,
133
00:37:35,530 --> 00:37:37,400
and when that collapsed,
134
00:37:37,530 --> 00:37:40,140
North Korea went
into a free fall.
135
00:37:41,100 --> 00:37:43,540
In 1994,
after Kim Il-Sung died,
136
00:37:43,670 --> 00:37:47,240
Kim Jong-Il made weapons
of mass destruction
his priority.
137
00:37:47,370 --> 00:37:51,150
This policy prioritized
nuclear weapons
over everything else,
138
00:37:51,290 --> 00:37:53,940
including the people
of North Korea.
139
00:38:57,570 --> 00:39:00,220
Kim Jong-Un needs
something to protect himself
140
00:39:00,350 --> 00:39:01,620
from being overthrown.
141
00:39:01,750 --> 00:39:03,750
You know, they saw Iraq,
they saw Libya,
142
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:05,790
they saw that Gaddafi
gave up his weapons
143
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,360
and was very ignominiously
murdered by his own people
144
00:39:09,490 --> 00:39:10,840
with the support of the West.
145
00:39:10,970 --> 00:39:12,410
Those scenes
have to be terrifying
146
00:39:12,540 --> 00:39:13,850
to the North Koreans.
147
00:39:19,460 --> 00:39:21,030
I see these nuclear weapons
and missiles
148
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,990
as a symptom of how isolated
and threatening
149
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,640
and threatened the North Korean
government feels.
150
00:39:34,340 --> 00:39:36,830
The North Korean people
are really the pawns
151
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,130
in this political game
that their regime is playing.
152
00:50:38,620 --> 00:50:40,620
- Mm.
153
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:06,280
Ah...
154
01:01:23,090 --> 01:01:24,350
Mm.
155
01:05:36,990 --> 01:05:39,040
In a way, the scariest parts
of North Korea
156
01:05:39,170 --> 01:05:42,000
are some of what they wanna
show you at these mass games.
157
01:05:42,130 --> 01:05:44,300
And there's 100,000 people
158
01:05:44,430 --> 01:05:47,740
wearing the same
kind of clothes
and marching in unison.
159
01:05:47,870 --> 01:05:51,140
And you see these children
who are five, six years old
160
01:05:51,270 --> 01:05:54,310
with their mass games,
cards spelling out
161
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:56,970
propaganda messages
in perfect unison.
162
01:05:57,100 --> 01:05:59,800
You've gotta think, you know,
"How do you get
your five-year-old to do that?"
163
01:05:59,930 --> 01:06:02,980
You see how much
repression there is.
164
01:10:39,990 --> 01:10:43,040
- Oh...
165
01:11:08,150 --> 01:11:10,890
North Korea
has basically plagiarized
166
01:11:11,020 --> 01:11:12,500
the Christian Bible
and you can see
167
01:11:12,630 --> 01:11:14,420
a lot of parallels
to the Old Testament.
168
01:11:31,480 --> 01:11:33,090
Kim Il-Sung is God,
169
01:11:33,220 --> 01:11:35,610
and Kim Jong-Il
is the Son of God.
170
01:11:35,740 --> 01:11:38,050
They claim that he was born
not in a manger
171
01:11:38,180 --> 01:11:40,830
but in a log cabin
on Mount Paektu,
172
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:43,320
which is at the Chinese-North
Korean border.
173
01:11:47,230 --> 01:11:49,280
It's said his birth
was heralded
174
01:11:49,410 --> 01:11:52,060
by a beautiful star,
and a double rainbow.
175
01:11:52,190 --> 01:11:54,890
They wanted to keep
this powerful imagery
for themselves,
