North Korea and the truth

 

In this series of photos Melia Robinson explores a series of photos taken by Xiaolu Chu. These photos are photos that he took with his cell phone camera of North Korea. Not much is known about what the real North Korea looks like, the government closely guards what pictures are let out of the country. The government will stop Xiaolu and go through his electronics to make sure that he is not taking pictures of un-approved objects. ‘He saw scores of people living in abject poverty. Many begged for money, he said.”  Melia asks Xiaolu if he feared retaliation from North Korea, meaning that in some cases they will harm people that take unauthorized pictures.  [115 Words , 2 Links , 1 Quotations , 1 picture ] http://www.businessinsider.com/photos-of-life-in-north-korea-2017-8?r=UK&IR=T http://www.xiaoluchu.com/
