A groundbreaking new documentary is using smuggled footage to paint a new and dramatic picture of the Hermit Kingdom, North Korea. Much of the world sees North Koreans as brainwashed and subservient, bowing down to Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un. The Frontline documentary “Secret State of North Korea” from the American public broadcaster PBS shows that for many people in North Korea, just the opposite is true. “We saw lots of examples of people standing up to authority in ways that we hadn’t expected,” Director James Jones told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Wednesday. amanpour.blogs.cnn.com/2014/01/15/stunning-new-footage-of-defiance-emerges-from-north-korea/?hpt=hp_c5&iid=article_sidebar

I think it's safe to assume they receive CNN in Pyong Yang even if 99% of the rest of the country can't. I hope this piece doesn't get a bunch of these people a bullet in the back of the head.

You remember the guy that singlehandedly stopped a line of Chinese tanks during Tianamen Square? GAWD, I LOVED that guy. Stainless steel balls, my man!

The young man clanks when he walks.
Seriously, I think he was lucky the tank driver or TC didn't want to have to pick pieces of him out of the running gear.
