North Korea lies somewhere between a 1930′s Soviet Union frozen in time and a dark, futuristic vision of society... as imagined back in the 70′s.

"Land of Whispers" invites you to visit arguably the most unique and isolated travel destination in the world not to criticize, but to observe and listen. Aside from usual highlights such as Pyongyang or Arirang, this unique oneman documentary brings you to areas such as Chongjin or Wonson, still virtually unknown to even google or wikipedia. There, I attempt to pierce through the everpresent 'national mythology' and as much as possible, I try to connect with people such as the waitress mesmerized by tablet computers, or a tour guide cautiously fascinated by modern pop culture.

** You're watching a heavily CUTUP version of the film with nearly the whole SOUNDTRACK removed. With youtube terms changing over the years and with constant falseflagging of the film by parties who'd like it taken down, these edits have been forced onto me as a condition for keeping the film online. **

Watch the complete, ORIGINAL VERSION of the film on Amazon & soon on my web site:
