The story of North Korea's information underground and how it
inspires people to seek better lives beyond their country's borders
One of the least understood countries in the world, North Korea has
long been known for its repressive regime. Yet it is far from being
an impenetrable black box. Media flows covertly into the country,
and fault lines are appearing in the government's sealed
informational borders. Drawing on deeply personal interviews with
North Korean defectors from all walks of life, ranging from
propaganda artists to diplomats, Jieun Baek tells the story of
North Korea's information underground-the network of citizens who
take extraordinary risks by circulating illicit content such as
foreign films, television shows, soap operas, books, and
encyclopedias. By fostering an awareness of life outside North
Korea and enhancing cultural knowledge, the materials these
citizens disseminate are affecting the social and political
consciousness of a people, as well as their everyday lives.
