Our Time Is Up (2004)

Corea del Norte se encuentra en algún lugar entre una Unión Soviética de los años 30 congelada en el tiempo y una visión oscura y futurista de la sociedad ... como se imaginó en los años 70. 'Land of Whispers' te invita a visitar posiblemente el destino turístico más exclusivo y aislado del mundo, no para criticar, sino para observar y escuchar. Además de los aspectos más destacados habituales como Pyongyang o Arirang, este documental único de un solo hombre lo lleva a áreas como Chongjin o Wonson, aún prácticamente desconocidas incluso para Google o Wikipedia. Allí, el director intenta penetrar la siempre presente 'mitología nacional' y, en la medida de lo posible, trata de conectarse con la gente, como la camarera hipnotizada por las tabletas o un guía turístico cautelosamente fascinado por la cultura pop moderna.

The Yosemite Valley Railroad, which runs through the breathtaking scenery and stunning vistas of Yosemite National Park, is on the brink of failure.

He manages to locate a wealthy eccentric investor to help him acquire the railroad, but its financial inviability makes this a quixotic reprieve, at best. The film also portrays the anti-Asian racism present in America at the conclusion of World War II.
