I was amazed to hear that North Koreans were screened foreign movies

Contrary to what I’ve heard on YouTube so far about North Korea, I was surprised to learn from a travel vlogger that North Korean citizens do get screened some foreign films.

In the video linked below, the DPRK tour guide Kim mentions watching Baahubali (timestamp included): https://youtu.be/uEux4UVqEcw?si=KZZR7tgLhlz-Azpk&t=32m47s

It’s interesting — and honestly a bit relieving — to know that their citizens get even a small glimpse of outside cinema, given how isolated the country usually is.
