quinaraThe first ever Western-made film to air in North Korea? Bend It Like Beckham.
Apparently it was in honour of the 10th anniversary of diplomatic ties being established between North Korea and the UK. I'm intrigued! Would love to know who picked the film (and which eight minutes were purportedly cut). It's a good film after all; I remember watching it at a sleepover back in the day, and I saw it again on the telly quite recently (and kept on having flashbacks during football practice - yeah, I took up football; it's a work in progress). Would it be the film I'd pick to propose North Korea aired? I don't know. But I certainly don't think it's a bad one - and I suppose it is easy to forget how internationally unifying football can be.
Anyone got any thoughts?
