Shane Smith is the guy who did that documentary on N.Korea that was posted here a few years ago. One of the most interesting conversations you'll hear and incredibly disturbing, the things he has seen and reported on.

Highlights:

North Korean slave camps in Russia.
Being chased by the FSB while being escorted by the Russian mafia.
Covering the Libyan rebels
Thai lady-boys
Why Mexico Narco documentaries are more dangerous than anything else you can cover as a reporter.
Liberian baby-eating and General Butt Naked.


Just watch it.
 
It really does show how almost unfathomably fucked up the world is, outside of some rather small enclaves.

Its hard to understand how irreversibly screwed a lot of our ecosystem is. Fresh water is really going to be a problem, and radiation poisoning, on some sort of serious level, of the entire planet, seems almost unavoidable.
 
Just finished, interesting interview. I like how our media covers none of these stories or leaves out important details that might sway the viewers. These guys describe themselves as amateur journalists, but they're probably the only ones left that dig this deep into stories and present as many details as possible.

I thought the best part was at the end where he gave a small observation of the standard of living in America vs the rest of the world. It makes you really wonder what this place would be like if the shit ever hit the fan hard enough.
