Sealed off completely from outside influences, with China and Russia to the north, a 4km wide impenetrable border with South Korea to the south, and lorded over by the controversial dictator Kim Jong II, North Korea is one of the least known and most secretive societies on Earth.
Involving a cast of thousands, the annual Mass Games held in its capital Pyongyang is the world's largest choreographed gymnastics performance. This eye-popping and beautifully-shot British documentary follows two young North Korean girls and their families as they prepare for this greatest show on earth.
A State of Mind provides a rare glimpse at the lives, hopes and beliefs of those that live in this little understood country, climaxing in the exuberant ceremony and spectacle of the performance itself. JS
