Mangyongdae Funfair opened in the early 1980s as North Korea was coming down from a period of high economic stability. When a reversal of fortune takes the country down a dramatic spiral, the park becomes a bizarre time capsule that would eventually leave western visitors in awe.

A very special thanks to Lindsay Fincher, Ray Cunningham, and Richard Bannister for helping make this possible.
