Note: At first the camera is facing down to the ground. The video shows a lot of human shadows, legs, and stuffs on display at the market. It is rather chaotic. After that, it gets better. However, the camera man must be an amateur. The camera was not held steady in many places. A man makes an anti-Kim Jong-il speech with his face not shown. You can only see Kim Jong-il's picture defaced with anti-Kim Jong-il statements. The speech takes up the second half of video. The original video is said to be 35 minutes long. However, the video above is edited to make it about 15 minutes long.
Ping!
Looks like a lovely place.
Somebody ping the idiots at International ANSWER about this. They should know that there are troubles in their master's house.
Who the heck are those numbnuts?
They seem to have pulled the video, or at least I can't get it. Anybody got an alternate source?
Some idiots from my hometown.
Pathetic, isn't it? ...now you know why I left.
I can still get it. So it is still there. I am not aware of any alternate source at the moment. Hope you try again and go through.
Part of this was on Japanese television news this evening.
Reportedly, it is to be aired in Asahi TV at 10:00pm tonight. Maybe it was a preview.
I fear they know already.
That will be aired in about 10 minutes, it is 10 minutes before 10:00 p.m. in Japan, Tuesday 18 January (7:50 a.m. Eastern).

Very interesting.
I wonder if the cameraman has posted some of those signs himself?
What is the building he goes to? Can you tell?
And is that a prison cell he shows right after the marketplace scene? Can you read what the sign there says?
It is not clear if he posted them or somebody else already did it. The first building is "Jan. 17" Factory. It is not a prison. The next is at the wall of a school, I believe.

I must wonder if the cameraman was really an amateur or simply a guy who had to hold the camera in a coat or something to keep from being spotted by Kimmie's government goons. Whatever, it looks like a terribly sad and depressing place to live. Reading all of your posts I have become quite interested in daily life in North Korea and have done a lot of searching on the web. Most photos are of pyongyang and the celebrations. Rarely do we see the real North Korea which is a virtual squalor for those trapped there. I pray for them daily.
