 The ongoing production of North Korean is largely unwatchable because of the low quality sets, cameras, film stock, acting, etc but they're unsettling to watch because you can practically feel the metaphorical off screen gun forcing the men and women into producing feature length songs of praise for their leader. There's a ton on YouTube and DPRK government maintains their own YouTube channel to spread the word about them if you're curious enough to flick through.
