Five Days in North Korea

NORTH KOREA — 5 Days Inside The Most ISOLATED Country (Episode 2) 북한의 삶

From the channel of Explore & Discover.

Our favorite Russian bloggers explore the DPRK, or North Korea, for five days.

"An exclusive look at North Korea, the world’s most closed-off country. Life here is isolated from the outside world and every aspect of existence is regulated by order of the "Great Leader", from the art you’re allowed to see, the books you can read, even to your hairstyle. The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is perhaps the least known country in the world today. Based on a political ideology known as ‘Juche’, the socialist government controls every source of information and the national leader, Kim Jong-un, preserves the peace and defends the state’s historical, spiritual and cultural heritage. From childhood, they are taught to be loyal to their leader and to beware of western values. For most viewers North Korea remains a mystery but this unique film offers a limited window of opportunity to view Korean lifestyle through the prism of North Korean peoples’ every day cares and joys."

"They Told Us to Close Our Eyes" — German Women POWs Shocked by What Came Next

From the channel of WWII Hidden Courage.

"They were told the Americans would be monsters—cruel, merciless, and vengeful—but when 847 German women stepped onto U.S. soil as prisoners of war in September 1945, everything they believed shattered. Expecting starvation, humiliation, and punishment, they were instead met with hot showers, fresh uniforms, clean beds, and the smell of freshly baked bread. This powerful true story follows Greta Hartmann, a young radio operator from Berlin, as she and hundreds of other German women struggled to reconcile years of Nazi propaganda with the shocking kindness shown to them inside American POW camps. From the moment they arrived—terrified and broken—to their first hot meal, warm bed, and simple acts of humanity from their so-called enemies, their worldviews crumbled. This video reveals their emotional journey through guilt, survival, inner conflict, and transformation as they witnessed the compassion of the enemy while their own families starved back home in a ruined Germany. It is a story not of battles, but of dignity, mercy, and the painful realization that kindness can break a person more deeply than cruelty. If you’re passionate about untold World War II stories, human psychology, emotional historical narratives, and the hidden experiences of women in war, this video will stay with you long after it ends.
