I went to north korea to play hockey

In March of 2017 I went to North Korea to play in a friendly hockey match against the North Korean Men's National Hockey Team. It was an eleven-day excursion that sent me into the city of Pyongyang as well as the outskirts of the country. 

I was fortunate enough to be able to bring my GoPro with me and filmed (almost) everything I saw.

What I learneD...

Here are the three major things that I learned while in North Korea:

1. A government doesn't always represents its PEOPLE

2. Sports are a (really) good form of diplomacy.

3. Make your own decisions and actively critique them. Why do you believe what you believe?

Thanks to everyone who helped me make this film.
