I've seen a documentary on an American eye specialist and his team that toured N. Korea performing sight restoration surgery, and about a week after the surgery when the dressings were removed and they could see for the first time in however long, the first thing they did was head across the hall and worshiped the portrait of the dear leader handing on the wall, no even giving the doctor and his team a glance.
It was very hard to tell whether they did that out of fear of reprisals, or blind cult following of their dear leader, but either way it was totally f'd up and a disgusting end to a good documentary.
