Synopsis
Is North Korea really the last heaven on Earth? Conscious of the imperfection, bias, and even the dishonesty of the Western press, Strip-Tease wanted to find out. The first Western television crew to be able to film in this country for the past ten years, the Strip-Tease team did not go alone, but accompanied by a " very high-level delegation".
A word from Tënk
What happens when you take a group of Belgian politicians of varying political allegiances, bring them to a country living under a dictatorship and let the team from the Belgian series Strip-tease film everything? You get the perfect recipe for an absurd documentary. At the time of filming, this was the first Western television crew to be granted access to North Korea in ten years. The atmosphere starts getting uncomfortable when the President of this “extremely high-profile delegation”, Willy Burgeon, honorary President of the Parliament of Wallonia, shows some support for the North Korean regime. In case you were wondering, he was removed from office after the documentary was released…
