While the world watches a display of red carpets, geopolitical posturing, and escalating nuclear threats, this episode of Dia-Logos looks beyond the closed rooms of Pyongyang.
Dia-Logos Director, Stefan van der Berg, peels back the political propaganda to explore the brutal reality on the ground, and find Christ's perspective in the most unexpected place.
