Via IAmA on Reddit, American tourists visit Pyongyang and film day to day life there. Surreal propaganda pageant at 6:30 mark.
My friends and I were on the Trans-Siberian Railway this summer and decided it would be cool to visit North Korea, so in June we went there on a government tour. Kim Jong Un had been "ruling" the country for about six months, and the propaganda push to deify him was in full swing. It also happened to be Children's Week in Pyongyang, so Young Pioneers (think Hitler Youth + Sailor Moon) were everywhere.
Surprisingly, they let me film and photograph just about everything.
