Go here to watch the Vice Guide to North Korea, our 14-part infiltration of the land that time, food, and sanity forgot. And if that's a little too "Western-centric" for you collegiate types, here's some firsthand testimonials from North Korean refugees who were imprisoned and tortured by the regime and then ducked out of there.
way to be ahead of the current events vice!
