This is an intriguing and disturbing glimpse inside North Korea. The children eat scraps from the ground as the "Dear Leader" Kim Jong-Il enjoys the finest in French cognac and gourmet feasts. Many of the clips in this video were shot clandestinely, under penalty of execution. Some might use this video as propaganda to decry UN sanctions, however when viewed in comparison to the lavish lifestyle afforded the party elite in Pyongyang, this story becomes a testament to the horrific nature of the North Korean regime.
