An interesting Dutch documentary that chronicles the daily activities of one North Korean family (or at least what the government wants the viewer to see). There is no narration whatsoever, only the dialog between the North Koreans themselves at home, at school, and at work.

Since most North Koreans don't own vehicles, these are all one star:

The two buses are both Karosas.

I remember reading an account of a visit to North Korea with a photo of Kim Il-sung's Mercedes on display in his palace. I'm pretty sure the first Mercedes here must be that one.
