That was one of the cuts that got my attention as well.
There are few images of the recent past that highlight the futility and emptiness of totalitarianism as strongly as the iconic image from space of North and South Korea at night.
This video was indeed laid on heavily. But that is because it is in line with what the North Koreans are accustomed to seeing.
I think it is a fascinating approach to communication with a nation that is not just foreign, it is alien.
