Synopsis

Documentary feature directed by Alvaro Longoria that analyses Propaganda and the different techniques and strategies in place, focusing on North Korea as a surprising and fascinating case study.

The film has been shot in North Korea with privileged access thanks to Alejandro Cao de Benós, the only foreigner who works for the communist government. The film analyses the interests of the different « players » and the strategies they use to manipulate the « truth ». False news, half-truths and surreal controversies will lead the viewers to reach their own conclusions and reflect on how difficult it is to discern the truth.
