Traveling through North Korea

Discover, through the eyes of two German filmmakers, what life is truly like inside one of the world’s most closed countries. “A Postcard from Pyongyang” offers a rare glimpse behind the veil of secrecy shrouding North Korea’s regime. From the bustling streets of the capital, the documentary’s travelogue format takes us on a journey through a city that seems to be stuck in the past.

Filmmakers Gregor Möllers and Anne Lewald offer their compelling impressions of a nation and its people shaped by Juche beliefs, socialist propaganda, and the shadow of reunification. Though faced with strict regulations and chaperones appointed by the state, the filmmakers find a way to capture the raw essence of life for North Koreans in a society where deception is a necessary tool for both perception and expression. This groundbreaking work reveals the true reality of a country that has long been misunderstood by the rest of the world.
