It’s 1984 novel playing out in real time. The impact of living like this is so profound that we, on the outside, cannot truly comprehend how deeply difficult their lives, on a day to day, minute by minute, actually is. How unfair it is to have been born in to such a hellish situation. 😢

I remembered the famine in the 90’s someone snuck a film out, I saw children on the streets, weak from starvation, it impacted me - children, no one can help. I’ve been interested ever since.

This is so incredibly sad and heartbreaking. Why has no one stepped in to stop this?

He literally owns the country and all the people within the country are his workers/slaves… that’s messed up

How could a leader do this to their own people. My heart breaks for them.

I cannot anymore. Why is the world so cruel?
