3. Under the Sun (2015)

Don’t be put off by the fact that this is an artistic documentary on North Korea. Under the Sun is a fascinating look at the production of a propaganda film that is devoid of military parades, nuclear weapons, and other typical elements of the genre.

In order to make a film, Vitaly Maskiy, a Russian director, set out to collect all of the necessary funds. To keep recording between takes after the North Koreans wouldn’t allow him the freedom of filming, he made a film. The end product is a North Korean film that provides a glimpse into the country’s propaganda efforts and the image they hope to project to the world.

4. The Mole (2020)

The Mole, a new documentary on North Korea, presents the story of Ulrich Larsen, a Danish man who infiltrates the Korean Friendship Association for ten years and becomes a spy (KFA). KFA boss leads him to an elaborate investment opportunity culminating in what was to be an underground weapons and drugs facility on a Ugandan island posing as a luxury hotel during his tenure in the KFA.

5. Michael Palin in North Korea (2018)

Even if this is more of a documentary than a North Koran film, it’s still worth mentioning. Michael Palin accompanied Koryo Tours on a trip to North Korea in May, and this illuminating documentary chronicles his experiences in a two-part special.

The friendship between Michael Palin and one of the guides he meets while in North Korea is one of the most talked-about aspects of this North Korean documentary.
