We Go Inside North Korea

We went to North Korea to witness the governments 'Big Event' that turned out not to be so big.

Concern about North Korea's nuclear program is as high as its ever been: Kim Jong-un has stepped up his testing program and the U.S. sent a carrier strike group to take up a position in range of the Korean peninsula, drawing a threat from Kim to strike first. Saturday is North Korea's most important holiday: the birthday of the Eternal President—Kim Jong-un's late grandfather, Kim II-sung. It's traditionally an occasion for a big test launch or detonation. VICE News' Charlet Duboc was in Pyongyang for a government-announced 'big event.'
