What happens
Defilada (The Parade) is a Polish 1989 documentary by Andrzej Fidyk. It focused on the cult of personality in North Korea, and was shot in 1988 on the 40th anniversary of the state's founding by Kim Il Sung. Despite its widely perceived anti-totalitarian message, it has received praise from North Korea itself, likely because it followed official North Korean guideline, and its criticism is delivered through images of artificial behavior of populace living in a totalitarian system, without any critical commentary.
