State of Mind

Synopsis
STATE OF MIND provides a rare insight into modern day, North Korean society. For the very first time foreign cameras have been allowed to film in a country where there is no advertising, no internet, no mobile phones, no traffic pollution and very little western influence. This unique documentary follows two young gymnasts and their families for over eight months in the lead up to the 2003 Pyongyang Mass Games - the biggest and most elaborate performance on earth, involving thousands of participants in a choreographed socialist spectacular.
