North Korea’s mass games are something to behold every year, but this year as citizens of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea celebrate the 60th anniversary of Kil Il-sung’s victory over Japan, they’ve truly gone all out. Dan Schorr reports.:
The performance was called “Arirang” - an ultra-patriotic and nationalistic telling of Korean history. Photos and video just can’t do justice to the scope and intensity of Mass Games - a socialist art form in which individuals come together in mass.
