Emilian’s Bizarre Adventure (in North Korea)
In 1989, a Romanian cameraman was tasked to go visit North Korea and film the socialist glory. Then, he realized he had just walked into one of the strangest stage productions of the Cold War era. In this episode, we follow Emilian’s bizarre adventure through one of communism’s last great hallucinations: a week-long socialist mega-show staged just months before the collapse of the Eastern Bloc. It is a story about propaganda, performance, fake abundance, real hunger, and the strange historical moment when thousands of foreigners flooded Pyongyang, and the most isolated country on earth briefly turned itself into an international dance floor. Subscribe, unless you are busy cropping photos for the Supreme Leader.
