Can't sleep, digesting a recent event

Can't sleep still steaming...
Director of a pretty famous movie from Slovenia came to London, had questions and answers session and said we lived like in Northern Korea 20 years ago. Beside everything good that happened in our country, people stood up, fought against Nazis, when many other nations bowed down in front of them, before 1950 stood up again, we are a country that is not communism and not capitalism we will invent our own economic system, a country which at the end of 1945 was left with more or less nothing, but was able to develop pretty well with the preconditions it had. Well no, he wouldn’t mention any of that. In Britain we are considered an unimportant and unknown country. Eastern Europe is not posh and not the most respected, and yes we are not central Europe but eastern for our British friends. And there he comes, someone who is really good at his craft of making movies and says the same: well yeah, we have just been Northern Korea. If I was an investor for that movie from Slovenia, I would want my money back.
