1:45 a.m. the 38th parallel along the
border of North and South Korea
the 148 mile long border is the most
heavily militarized
in the world this joint South Korean
American platoon is on constant alert
for infiltrators from the north
behind these fences North Korea has a
million man army and now nuclear weapons
which they could use or possibly give
away to terrorists the soldiers can
monitor every sound and movement close
to the border but what makes this place
so dangerous is the uncertainty of what
lies on the other side of the divide
North Korea is one of the most secretive
countries on earth it’s regarded as an
intelligence black hole but we know some
basic facts North Korea is roughly the
size of Mississippi it has 23 million
people a showcase capital Pyongyang and
is completely controlled by Kim jong-il
the Dear Leader is an absolute dictator
worshipped in a personality cult perhaps
more extreme than any other in history
Kim Jong Il is the son of God in North
Korea he is the state the notion of
questioning his ability to rule or what
he does doesn’t enter into things
[Music]
everyone is trained from birth to love
the Dear Leader and no outside sources
of information are allowed newspapers
and television are controlled by the
state there’s no internet cell phones
have been banned and many don’t even
know a man has walked on the moon
John choking go there’s no freedom it’s
a country run on tyranny and
dictatorship
I don’t think anyone can understand
North Korea until they experience it
North Korea is known as the Hermit
Kingdom because of its extreme isolation
from the rest of the world but on the
other side of Asia one man is literally
planning to bring light to the darkness
of North Korea nepalese eye surgeon dr.
sandy cruet travels the world setting up
eye clinics in developing countries
dubbed a miracle doctor by the media
route trains local doctors in
inexpensive and effective treatments for
cataracts North Korea may be his biggest
challenge yet
thousands of people go blind due to a
lack of even the most basic medical
facilities I know number of surgeries
performed is just just very little and
the blindness magnitude is one of the
highest in the world
Rohit plans to travel from Nepal to
North Korea to do more than 1,000
surgeries in less than 10 days his
mission is purely humanitarian what the
North Koreans don’t know is that our
camera crew is going with him so what do
you think of the camera so far dr. right
is big you think these cameras are big
our camera crew is posing as members of
dr. rowitz medical team we’re going to
document his work and show the world
what life is like inside North Korea
send it back this meeting in a Katmandu
hotel room will be the last time our
team can converse in private so there
will be a North Korean man traveling
with us the entire time from here to
Pyongyang from here to Pyongyang and
