Day in the Life of A North Korean Family
In
my Communications class, I’ve had to do some heavy research on the North Korean
dictator Kim Il Sung, and his family’s rein on North Korea for an upcoming
speech to educate others. I figured this project would be a good way to
illustrate the huge poverty and cult-like propaganda of the Kim Il Sung family.
In North Korea, it is written in their constitution that they must
worship their “Great Leader”, Kim Il Sung, and post posters of him all
throughout their homes as well as wear his picture on their garments every day.
As absolute leader, his grandson and father before him live luxuriously by
buying expensive limo’s, $600,000 on sprits, and etc. Most of his citizens are forced to live on an average salary
of about $1000 a year.
For this project, I plan on taking a picture of the interior of a ragged torn down house with a beat up wooden floor. I plan to hand draw the giant glamorous poster of Kim Il Sung centered on the wall as well as symbols of severe poverty. (Ex: A young thin child eating small scraps of food off the dirty wooden floor with a neighboring rat.) I also plan to add an old broken widow showing a poor man (possibly the father) working diligently outside in the field. I’m also possibly adding an old pair of torn pants, socks, an old bucket for water, and a beggar’s tin cup at various points of the house somewhere on the floor.
