NORTH KOREA 10 Undercover in North Korea for 10 years, Alejandro Cao de Benós is a psychopath, tragic fate of Otto Warmbier and exposing North Korean criminal activities with Ulrich THE MOLE Larsen

In this riveting episode of the Chasing Bandos Urbex Podcast, we delve into the gripping world of undercover exploration with special guest Ulrich Larsen. Ulrich takes us on a journey through his incredible experience as the protagonist of the award-winning documentary "The Mole: Undercover in North Korea." Directed by Danish filmmaker Mads Brügger, the documentary serves as a sequel to the acclaimed film "The Red Chapel." Ulrich approached Brügger with the idea to expose North Korea's illicit activities and evasion of international sanctions. Together, they embark on a daring mission, with Ulrich becoming the point of contact between North Korea and Mr. James, portrayed by Jim Latrache-Qvortrup, a fictional wealthy Norwegian businessman. Travelling across the globe, Ulrich and Mr. James engage with North Korean diplomats, negotiating a massive illegal trade deal involving cross-continental missiles, weapons, and methamphetamine. Their goal is to shed light on how North Korea bypasses sanctions and participates in highly unlawful activities beyond its borders. "The Mole: Undercover in North Korea" premiered in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, leaving audiences astounded by its revelations. Hugh Griffiths, former co-coordinator of the UN Panel of Experts on North Korea, hailed the documentary as "highly credible" and a severe embarrassment to Chairman Kim Jong-un. While some critics argue that Ulrich's work pushes the boundaries of the documentary genre and needlessly puts himself and Mr. James in danger, the impact of their endeavor cannot be denied. Tune in to this thought-provoking episode as Ulrich Larsen shares his extraordinary journey and sends a direct message to his former "friends" at the Korean Friendship Association (KFA).
