The name of the documentary which was made inside the DPRK with official approval was "A State Of Mind". Following two young female dancers in their pursuit of theatrical dance perfection in order to perform for their Dear Leader.
As this is an "approved" documentary which was primarily filmed "under supervision" you get a rather strange and sometimes conflicted story of modern day life in Pyong-Yang with food rationing, severe fitness regimes and an installed radio that can not be turned off.
Nothing particularly controversial nor spectacular but very much a "must see". It also won two awards at the Pyongyang International Film Festival.
