Inside North Korea with Ishimaru Jiro


Listen Later

April 14, 2014 - In December 2011, Kim Jong-un took over for his father as supreme leader of North Korea. More than two years into Kim Jong-un’s reign, many North Koreans still suffer severe economic privation, as well as strict social and political controls. Though North Korea remains largely closed to the international media, North Korean citizen-journalists have managed to secretly record many aspects of daily life inside the DPRK, providing some of the only uncensored images from inside the country. Japanese journalist Ishimaru Jiro, a leading expert on North Korea, will talk about the current situation inside North Korea, with a special focus on daily life for average North Koreans.
