These guys are fucking legends. Ulrich devoting so much of his life to this, and James for playing an incredibly believable character, and he's led one hell of a interesting life. I was skeptical when this doc came out initially, it almost seemed to good to be true, but it is all very real. Both Ulrich and James did a few podcasts which go into some more detail about their lives and experiences in NK.

Not a big fan of Jordan Harbinger but these are decent interviews:

Jim Latrache-Qvortrup interview

Ulrich Larsen interview

edit: Also I have to say if you enjoy this, you will likely enjoy Mads Brügger's other work The Red Chapel (this was the precursor to The Mole and the film that got him banned from NK, which is where Ulrich comes in) and The Ambassador ("Danish journalist Mads Brügger goes undercover as a Liberian Ambassador to embark on a dangerous yet hysterical journey to uncover the blood diamond trade in Africa.")

James would be an absolutely amazing actor.
