North Korea's state broadcaster has released a 42-minute documentary on the June 12 summit between its leader Kim Jong-un and U.S. President Donald Trump in Singapore.

The Korean Central Broadcasting Station released the documentary on Thursday, two days after the historic denuclearization meeting.

The clip summarizes Kim's three-day visit to Singapore, with much footage of Kim and Trump that couldn't be seen in other media, including Kim's hotel room, surprise night out to the city-state's tourist attractions and the two leaders' closed-door working lunch.

The clip shows Trump exchanging a "salute" with a North Korean three-star general ahead of the summit, which raised eyebrows because the U.S. and North Korea technically are still at war. The White House on Friday reacted to the controversy, saying Trump's salute was a "common courtesy."

Narration (distinctive North Korean intonation) and subtitles are all Korean. Foreigners may find it difficult to understand what the narrator is saying.

But given the summit's significance in world history, this rare documentary is something you should not miss.
