Beyond Utopia

There is real footage of a man being executed by gunshot; this is grainy and undetailed. Footage of the build up to the killing of Colonel Gaddafi is shown, as a mob beats him, with sight of blood over his face and clothes. We also see real footage of people being beaten with sticks and of a suspect being struck and slammed into walls by a member of the military; this results in a bloody smear over a wall. There is occasional footage of real conflict, including gunfire and explosions. There are verbal references to the brutalities of the North Korean regime, which include descriptions of public executions and graphic accounts of torture. We see a photo of a man on his knees about to be beheaded.

We see footage tracking a desperate, frightened family's progress as they navigate dark forests when attempt to defect from North Korea; we are told they risk death and torture and hear accounts referring to others who have suffered these fates.

There is mild bad language ('bastard') along with milder terms such as 'screw' and 'jerk'.

We are told about women who have been sold into 'sex-chatting' or prostitution. There are undetailed references to the sterilisation and rape of women.

There are verbal references to people considering taking their own life in the face of oppression or emotional trauma.

There are sequences in which we are shown images of dead or injured people lying on the ground. We also hear testimony of people describing seeing dead bodies floating down rivers and in other settings. A woman tells a news reporter that schoolchildren are made to watch public executions and that she saw her first hanging at the age of seven.

A woman is distraught when she learns her son has been captured by the regime and is likely being tortured in a detention camp. There are scenes of emotional upset as people talk about defecting and leaving loved ones behind. There are references to people escaping North Korea being forced into giving up their internal organs.
