What do you think about the assertions from people like Sam Potts that your work is hugely disingenuous?

North Korea is fascinating because it is a brutal, horrific despotism. The government is committing atrocities. There are death camps. Isn't this the equivalent of going in to Nazi Germany in the 1940s and asking for the government's permission to film the nice bits?

Question do avoid my post being deleted: do I remember there being a film planned about Dan's life?

Now what I really wanted to say: thank you for doing this AMA. I don't have a question, but a story about Dan's influence on me. When I was sixteen, I got hold of The Journey is the Destination from a friend, and bought a copy for myself as soon as I got back. I don't think it had been released in the UK and I spent a bunch of money shipping it from the US. The beauty and humanity of that book blew me away and had a huge impact on me. It convinced me to travel and explore Africa, and helped me process some of what I saw with art. Dan's art had a huge impact on me, and I wanted to thank you for sharing something so personal to you.
