For over ten years, Ulrich Larsen posed as a trusted insider to North Korea's elite, secretly recording meetings, arms deals, and plans to evade international sanctions. Working alongside filmmaker Mads Brügger, Larsen risked everything to expose how far Kim Jong-Un's regime would go to survive. We talk about the mental toll of double life, how he built the trust of spies and diplomats, and what really happens inside the world's most isolated dictatorship.
