Many people have pointed out in the comments that it's not actually a documentary from the DPRK, but a mockumentary from New Zealand. Haven't watched it, but let's be mindful of that fact.
I was repeating what I read in the comments. I haven't watched it, probably I will tomorrow. But if the doc presents itself as from the perspective of a person from the DPRK, or as sanctioned by the government of the DPRK, when that is not the case, then it would be a mockumentary, no moral judgment on the actual content, though. Just that it's not a documentary that plays it's premise straight.
It's actually really good and basically 100% right in what it shows but yeah, it's some kind of either performance piece or meta-commentary on the nature of propaganda or something, I don't know. Definitely wasn't made by communists but in their attempt to hyperbolize communist thought they end up pushing past liberal stupidity into something pretty accurate and angry at the US/capitalist society.
