First Western Film Aired on North Korean TV

On Christmas this year, North Korea’s Dear Leader permitted a western-made movie to be shown on its state-run television network for the first time ever to celebrate the tenth anniversary of diplomatic relations between them and Britain.  The honored (heavily censored) film? BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM.

I would have recommended ALI G INDAHOUSE.
