Synopsis: 

A documentary film created by one of the most famous Romanian war reporters, Adelin Petrişor, after the visit he made to the toughest communist concentration camp still existent in the world – North Korea –, together with his colleague from TVR, the cameraman Cătălin Popescu. The two were the first Romanian TV journalists to be allowed access to the country isolated by the rest of the world after 1989. Their experience materialized in the photo album “Noth Korea, a Concentration Camp as Large as a Country” and the nonfictional volume “The Country with Just One Fat Man”. The screening of the film is followed by a Q&A with its director.
