Kora is deliberately shot and edited from a first person perspective, placing the viewer on the path of a pilgrim.

However, they are the only places for South Koreans to see North Korean large-scale monuments in reality, since South Koreans are not allowed to visit the North due to division of the two Koreas. The monuments and buildings in African countries actually display more of North Korean socialist realism than African qualities.
