From Piteå to North Korea – An insight into the grip of dictatorship
What is it like to live in a country where a small power elite rules with an iron fist? Where freedom is a distant dream and every word, every look and every action can be a deadly risk?
From Piteå to North Korea – An insight into the grip of dictatorship
Journalist Mirja Lakso has traveled through some of the world's harshest regimes, where the truth is distorted and the population lives under total control. With personal stories and sharp analysis, she provides a unique insight into how dictatorships work and why democracy can never be taken for granted.
