Today in class we watched a movie. In this movie there is a doctor who helps blind people in poverty countries see again. So they went to North Korea because there are many people there that are blind. There is a group of people from America that when they heard about this thought it was there chance to finally see into the country of North Korea. So this movie is about what north korea is reallly like on the inside.
