The leaders of North Korea make sure to portray their country as a communist dictatorship paradise, with full employment, big buildings, and most importantly, happy smiling people. However the communist dictatorship is trying to present to the world that North Koreans are living in a modern world with all benefits that comes with it. That they have big buildings, offer full employment and most of all the people are happy. On this picture the truth leaks and you can tell how sad and tragic their life actually is just by the angry and unsatisfied looks on their faces. Photographer Eric Lafforgue’s hidden camera captured this priceless moment.
