Four Corners presents Korea - a Channel 4 UK Dispatches film about the realities of Korean life under new leader, Kim Jong Un. Following the journeys of a small group of North Korean secret filmmakers, this film reveals what life is really like under the new leader:"The starving children on the streets - not victims of famine, but of artificial food shortages engendered by corruption;"The medieval state of agriculture, in which 70 per cent of farms still depend on ox-drawn ploughs;"The glittering life of the elite in Pyongyang;"The huge growth of private markets in the cities;"The secret trade in USBs, mobile phones, and DVDs from the South, which are transforming North Koreans' views of themselves, their state, and the world;"And the gulags - in which an estimated 130,000 political prisoners are still imprisoned."With unique access, Korea investigates the information revolution that is ending North Korea's sixty years of isolation.PRODUCTION DETAILS:1 x 45 minutes.
