In 2009, I travelled to North Korea on assignment for the Canadian newspaper, the Globe and Mail. I travelled with G&M correspondent, Mark Mackinnon, secretly posing as tourists, in order to get a rare and unique view of the country at a time when very few outsiders were permitted to visit.<\/p>\n
Breaking up my camera and smuggling it in pieces in my luggage, I was able to surreptitiously take photos and use a tourist’s camcorder to capture video as we were guided around sites throughout the country. <\/p>\n
This video combines their three dispatches we made while travelling through the country. First entering at the Chinese border town of Dandong, then travelling to Pyongyang to watch the Arirang Mass Games and finally visiting the demilitarised zone, from the North side.<\/p>\n
