I just bought A State of Mind at Kyobo's little Hot Tracks place.
It was 10,000 won, and the Korean title was 어떤 나라.

Edit: forgot to mention that I had them special order it for me - it wasn't in the store. It took less than a week

Very Happy

Pulgasari is the North Korean version of Godzilla. Before you accuse it of being fictional, go read about how awesome it was.

The thing that makes it really interesting is how it was made. Kim Jongil actually kidnapped a South Korean director so the movie could be made.

Very scary documentary. Seriously worth a download. The torrent site has other goodies.

See here

Just search using 'Korea', but you knew that already.

Edit - cant type for toffee this morning.

Children of the secret state:

It's in five parts. This is part one.


Also a really horrifying one about torture, etc. from the BBC:

I know of a few:

'North Korea: A day in the life' (2004)
This one is good. It follows the individual members of a family for a day. It shows a day in the life of a clothing factory, a school and a home. It's well-done.
http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3359153/North.Korea.A.Day.In.The.Life.2004.DVDRip.XviD-TheWretched

Another one is called 'Friends of Kim'. There's no torrent, but you can order it from their website: http://www.friendsofkim.com/news.htm

I'm working on one myself. I'll put a link up when I've finished a rough draft.
