North Korea: A day in the life

This documentary does a better job in highlighting the present state of social retardation after decades of brainwashing and poverty in North Korea.







I'm not happy with this last clip. It has no subtitles, and I think they have been omitted on purpose due to all the talk about killing Americans. No point in watching this last one really.

State of Mind: Life in North Korea - BBC

This paints a rather rosy picture. I wonder how much worse things are now since the recent government currency devaluation. Strange that I don't hear South Koreans discuss this topic much.

The Dark Side of Everest

The film by National Geographic
narrator Paul Boucher.

"For some mountaineers, the top of the world also represents the peak of human ambition. But when things go badly high on Everest, as they will sooner or later, difficult moral dilemmas play out in dramatic fashion on a global stage.

National Geographic Channels International takes viewers to The Dark Side of Everest through the eyes and minds of those who've struggled with the mountain's powerful and potentially fatal allure. Everest veterans discuss how the mountain's hostile environment can affect the human values of those who dare to challenge its heights."

The Universe - The Search for Cosmic Clusters

Another great space documentary; this one deals with star formation.

They are the one-stop-shopping places for learning all about the nature and variety of stars in the Universe. They're unique, because in clusters, all the stars were born at about the same time, from the same material and all are at the same approximate distance from Earth. This means we can be sure that any differences among them are due to their true natures and not distorted by different distances from Earth and other factors. In this episode, two kinds of star clusters in the galaxy are explored. "Open Clusters" are young, live in the spiral arms of the galaxy and give us insight into the birth and formation of stars. "Globular Clusters" are old, live in the outskirts of the galaxy and could be nearly as old as the Universe itself. In addition, explore Galaxy clusters to reveal the large-scale structure of the Universe, which is expanding so fast that eventually all other galaxies, except for our own, will literally disappear from our sight.
