North Korea’s main state-run television channel aired a new short film this week meant to discourage video game addiction and promote science and technology. The film is part of the first new set of live-action dramas broadcast in over two years.
The two new short films shown on Korean Central Television (KCTV) in recent weeks were presented as public service announcements, delivering clear messages that North Koreans should not slack off at work, harm nature or be hypocrites. As part of an emphasis on promoting modern technology in North Korea, characters in the films are also frequently shown using their smartphones to push the story along.
