You are looking at a legal video sneaked out of north korea welcome back Charlie here north korea
is the most brutal and secretive country on the planet the whole country is isolated and there's
no access to outside internet but today you will see some rare videos that have been secretly
filmed inside north korea from surveillance footage of interrogations and trials by kim's
secret police two scary tick tock videos filmed inside the dprk first we have to look at this
dramatic and heartbreaking video these four adults and one toddler tried to escape north korea the
young girl is only two years old they decided to try and escape by going into a japanese consulate
if they made it through the gate they would be on japanese soil and finally escape the hell that is
north korea watch what happens as they try to escape as you can see the three men make it
through but sadly the woman and her child do not make it they're stopped by police and dragged back
into north korea in the heartbreaking video the woman and her daughter are crying and screaming
that's because they know that when they're back in north korea they will be put in prison likely
inside one of north korea's infamous labor camps the penalty for trying to escape north korea
is life in prison that's terrible for this woman but even worse for this child it means this
two-year-old girl may spend the rest of her life in prison the men must also feel very guilty for
leaving this woman and her child behind but sadly the woman and this girl may not be alive today
according to one expert these two people face quote certain execution the footage is absolutely
heartbreaking but it's even more scary when you think about what might have happened to this woman
and her child you may be saying but charlie surely north korea would not send children to prison
camps well if you say that then i challenge you to watch this next video in 2016 a human rights group
leaked this footage from north korea it seems to show a child chain gang working on a railway
many believe these are kim jong-un's child slaves as you can see they load heavy rocks
onto machinery and mend railway tracks with hammers it's said they are forced to do this
work for 10 hours a day in the hot sun all while kim jong-un enjoys his life of luxury the european
alliance of human rights called the footage startling and said it's one of the worst abuses
the north korean government inflates that is child labor the footage was filmed using a secret camera
the children are only eight to nine years old and as you can see they're very skinny and have
clearly not been fed or looked after well it's safe to say they really live a miserable existence
while most kids are studying or playing in north korea they are being used as slaves one activist
even said that if these kids don't do enough work they end up in prison or worse get beaten
by guards moving on let's look at what happens if you break one of north korea's many insane
rules what i'm about to show you is some leaked footage from a north korean interrogation room
this woman tried to escape north korea and go into china but she was captured by north korean guards
the interrogation is so bad i can't even show you most of it in this video but you can see
just how terrified this woman is it's safe to say prisoners in north korea have absolutely no rights
in another interrogation a man has his arms tied behind his back he's also blindfolded in a small
room inside the room is one north korean guard who yells at him the only thing decorating the
room are portraits of former north korean leaders unsurprisingly the man is absolutely terrified
another leaked interrogation from north korea shows a woman being interviewed by two guards
this young woman tried to escape north korea to go to china but she was arrested
while trying to escape at one point the guards even threatened this woman's life
humanitarian groups say this woman likely faced execution it really makes you think how someone
can be so evil and heartless of course this is very rare footage leaked to a humanitarian
organization but this is happening every day in north korea we don't think about it because
we don't see it but hopefully this video is a reminder of just how brutal north korea really
is but now we have to look at what happens in a trial it's safe to say north korea does not
have a good justice system at all in fact they still have public trials these public trials
not only humiliate the supposed criminal but they also scare everyone else into complying with the
government the public trial was secretly filmed by one very brave person you may be wondering
what did this criminal actually do their crime was a quote anti-communist act but the actual
crime was that they watched four south korean movies and gave them to some of their friends
that's right for watching south korean movies these people ended up on trial and went to prison
the north korean government is so scared of their population getting information
they want to keep all of their citizens ignorant of the outside world and if they see foreign
movies this may interfere with the north korean government brainwashing just imagine being held in
a public trial all because you watched a movie the footage was shared to an activist named sherry she
escaped north korea and defected many years ago according to her trials like this are commonplace
and the people who watched these movies likely ended up in a north korean prison camp
speaking of north korean propaganda let's look at one very scary place you're not allowed to
go to in north korea the main hotel in north korea is the yanggakdo international hotel
this is where many foreign tourists will stay if they visit north korea but there is one floor
that's missing from the elevator that is the fifth floor many tourists actually try to go to this
secret floor the floor is for staff only and unlike the rest of the hotel has many propaganda
posters for the staff it also has the hotel surveillance center this is where they can look at
all of the cameras around the hotel and listen to the secret microphones hidden in every hotel room
in 2016 an american tourist named otto warmbier went to this hotel he snuck into the fifth floor
and took a propaganda poster and because of this he was arrested and sent to a north korean prison
one and a half years later otto passed away i covered the full story in a previous video if
you want to check that out but for now i will show you some secret videos of the fifth floor
as you can see there are propaganda posters praising the kim regime and one tourist even
took a peek inside their surveillance room now let's look at what actually happens inside a
real north korean prison camp this video shows the true horrors of north korean prison in north korea
if you commit a crime your entire family goes to prison with you that's why there are many
families and children in this video everyone in the prison camp looks very hungry one video
shows workers loading bags with food onto a truck all while a starving child is sitting by the road
the food is not for the people in the prison instead it's food they've farmed that food is then
taken to the north korean elites in pyongyang the prisoners are seen working digging in frozen soil
and prisoners being forced to march and pick up stones inmates also have to carry wooden logs but
what's life like for north koreans who aren't in prison for example a normal farm worker in
rural north korea this is an interview with a 23 year old homeless woman she works in a farm
all day but still can't afford a place to live she has to sleep outside every night and says
that she eats nothing at one point in the video police come and harass farm workers some of these
citizens even argue with the police it seems north korean civilians are harassed at every opportunity
one of the worst things about these videos is there's almost nothing we can do to help in
many poor countries you can donate to charity to help people out but north korea has no charities
which aren't owned by the government this means any money donated would go to one of two things
either funding kim jong-un's luxurious lifestyle or funding north korea's nuclear missile program
finally let's look at some very creepy tick tocks posted by north korea that's right north korea
have their own tick tock propaganda account even though tick tock is banned for normal citizens
of the country certain government officials do have access the videos seem to show daily
north korean life but of course this is cherry picked to only show good things they ignore all
of the people who are starving and the people in prison camps some of the videos even show people
who look very scared almost as if they're being forced to participate in these tick tocks it's
very scary how this propaganda might work on some people using tick tock they may not realize this
tick tock account is owned by the north korean government but now it's time for you to make your
