“There's no real objection to escapism, in the right places... We all want to escape occasionally. But science fiction is often very far from escapism, in fact you might say that science fiction is escape into reality... It's a fiction which does concern itself with real issues: the origin of man; our future. In fact I can't think of any form of literature which is more concerned with real issues, reality.”
― Arthur C. Clarke

LAIBACH - BBC Storyville 'When Rock Arrived in North Korea: Liberation Day '
To the surprise of a whole world, the ex-Yugoslavian now Slovenian cult
band Laibach became the first rock group ever invited to perform in the
dictatorially repressed state of North Korea. Under the firm
guidance of an old fan turned director and cultural diplomat, Laibach
must deal with strict ideology, cultural differences and many
technological difficulties in order just to perform. Struggling to get
their songs through rigorous censorship, they race against the clock so
they can be unleashed on an audience never before exposed to alternative
rock'n'roll.
