Description

We review a documentary about a North Korean family called "Under the Sun," by Russian director Vitalij Manskij. On the surface, the documentary is a story about a young girl in North Korea who was chosen to take part in the well-known variety stage show "Spartakids." Under the surface, there is another layer to the movie. The movie is also about the North Korean propaganda people who are controlling the every movement of the characters in this "documentary."

Sug and Dan break down this movie and its implications, what it says about North Korea, and what it says about human existence. There are PLENTY OF SPOILERS.
