Yeah, she is definitely a lib but seeing the DPRK filmmaking process was really cool.
I doubt she meant anything by it, and it was probably just ingrained western chauvinism, but sometimes she was downright rude. It was a good watch though. I tend to recommend it to libs with My Brothers and Sisters in the North so they can see the difference between people who's job it is to be the face of DPRK to the western world and people who are just trying to do their job and don't have patience for western bullshit. I find it really helps humanize them.
Oh, for sure inbuilt chauvinism. I watched both of those back to back. It really helps to break the western narrative for sure! Both great films, if for no other reason than to show that they're all just people. I really enjoyed that part in My Brothers and Sisters in the North where you do see the little morning propaganda with the school children and it smacks you in the face how we do the exact same shit but hide ours behind a bunch of rote symbolism (flags, pledge, etc) instead of being more direct. I would definitely recommend both to anyone, especially if they're just starting to question the reality of our own media.
Edit: for clarity, I'm in the USA.
