    My favorite show growing up was called Departures and they have two episodes where they traveled to DPRK and Cuba. They were neutral politically but highlighted the two countries in a positive way so I never thought negatively of them. It was my first time being exposed to the Korean war (as an american too) and I thought “that wasn’t a good thing.” Since then for DPRK over the years reading information here, Blowback’s season on Korea, and being outside their embassy in Havana has put it all in perspective.
