So already a fruitful debate begins. I hope it continues.
I was curious as to what in particular had depressed Frank.
The BBC programme? Or PUST itself? Or both?
Others' responses so far vary on this point.
For my part, I'm not entirely depressed about either.
It seems to me a net gain, and amazing, that PUST exists at all.
As for the programme could have been worse (Sweeney!)
- though also much better. Why on earth did no one ask
why the students are all male?
And while I'm being a big softie, imho Caroline is a bit
hard on the late great sad MJ: also a victim. But she
has the DPRK's British fan-club on her side:

new-lies-bbc-panorma-educating.html
... the people of the DPRK are better off without the degenerate
whooping and screeching sounds of Michael Jackson!
Cheers
Aidan FC

I'm probably feeling more depressed than Frank Hoffman.
I also do believe that the KPA is involved in the management of the PUST.

Yes, a truly awful documentary, but the scene where the student points out
the factory owner would have to give up ownership, and that was the
'problem' with the task assigned, was at least one bright moment. And how
appropriate that the presenter asked the class whether they knew who Michael
Jackson was--the biggest symbol of decadent, paedophilic, drugged up western
social decline anyone could think of. It was almost a relief they had no idea.
Many thanks for forwarding the link.
