Questionable source edit

One of the sources heavily cited within the article is "Q&A: Vitaliy Manskiy & Simone Baumann, 'Under the Sun'". ScreenDaily. Retrieved 7 October 2016.

It may look reliable but contains two glaring errors.

  1. MDR is a German broadcaster, not the Latvian partner of the film. In fact MDR is one of the shareholders of Saxonia Entertainment. This information has been attributed to the representative of Saxonia Entertainment, but I find it hard to believe she would make such an obvious mistake.
  2. The other false claim, attributed to the filmmaker himself, is that North Korea's capital of Pyongyang will be home to the 2018 Winter Olympics. Which seems implausible enough. Actually the host city will be Pyeongchang, South Korea.

This may seem like nitpicking, but it is raising doubts that all the other quotes in said article have been accurately rendered. – 77.180.151.157 (talk) 20:33, 29 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
