It’s all because he’s created the most detailed publicly-available map of North Korea, revealing details the totalitarian state would rather the rest of the world didn’t have.
What started off as a two-month summer project, has now turned into a decade-long endeavour, with over 64,000 entries. Jacob’s forensic analysis has been vital in exposing what’s really going on in the world’s most secretive country.
In our series Super Users, VICE World News explores the latest technology being used to fight crime, trafficking, climate change and social injustice.

Google Earth is literally one of the best pieces of software ever made in my opinion. It was cool how that guy used it to do amazing research. What a cool video.
-
Glad Vice is returning to the kind of content that made them so interesting in the first place
-
I feel great sympathy for the people who were unfortunate enough to be in North Korea. 😔
-
Open source investigators like this guy and the citizen investigators/journalists at Bellingcat never cease to amaze me what they are capable of uncovering. Half the time, they're waaaay ahead of intelligence agencies with billion+ dollar budgets. Truly incredible what they do.
-
This young man is a national treasure. We have so many like him that are fighting our modern war and they often get overlooked as less important than the battlefield soldiers. His work will one day save millions of lives. Well done sir.
-
It's crazy to think a family has held a population hostage for 3 generations.
-
Incredibly interesting stuff. Great video. Anxious to see this guys work develop over time.
-
That's interesting. Sat imagining has come a long way. But to be on the ground to obtain further info... Bravo
-
These Vice videos are NUTS, quality-wise. Some of the best content I can think of are all Vice videos. This is dripping with hard work, good editing- just awesome. Typical of Vice but still worth noting and thanking them. So - thank you Vice team. Another boomshot here.

I am lucky enough to know Jacob Bogle and I am not surprised that his work keeps getting noticed. He is a spectacularly intelligent person and I look forward to more of his excellent research.
-
Super cool and great detailed work! Thank you Jacob.✌🏻
-
This man has done an amazing thing pulling all this information together! Kudos to him.
-
The dedication of this guy is something else. 30K pages?!
-
If they are trying to stop you, you are doing something right! This is an awesome documentary! ❤️ I’m originally from South Korea and my heart breaks for the North Korean people and the things they go through. I pray for their freedom.
-
Good job. Thanks for sharing
-
Excellent work ,out standing documents , thank you for sharing
-
Super scary place. You did an immense job in getting all this information. The more we know, the better. Thank you!

Duuuuude a couple of weeks ago one night I saw one of the old North Korea documentaries they made and it hooked me, I ended up watching all those videos that night(about7-8).They were amazing. Say what you want about vice but at the end of the day they are capturing stories all over the world in such a manner that large media companies could never do
