A few years ago, Lisa Ling, a reporter for National Geographic, traveled to North Korea. I will let you judge for yourself whether the government and people of North Korea bare any resemblance to the situation in Oceania. The video is a bit more lengthy than I normally post (46 minutes) but you're on vacation right? You've got nothing but time! Keep in mind that this video was not made that long ago and that people in North Korea are still living under these exact same conditions.

I would appreciate your comments on the video no later than Sunday night, 11pm.
