What People Know

For those who are trying to learn about more about North Korea, they see the nation as one of the last Stalinist regimes. They are hell bent on being a recluse and isolating themselves from the rest of the world. Traveling there is almost next to impossible. That’s because they refuse to be reliant on anyone else. They relish in their ability to function independently. But behind the displays of pomp and grandeur is a country that’s impoverished, with thousands of citizens denied of their usual rights.

The People

Thousands of refugees attempt to defect the country. They face harsh punishments for simple acts, something we commit everyday, and something we never consider as an act against the law. That’s because North Korea is riddled with the most ridiculous rules that ban its citizens from doing things we consider very mundane.
