The Mole: Undercover in North Korea is a 2020 documentary miniseries written and directed by Mads Brügger that managed to record plans of large-scale illegal weapon distributions, methamphetamine laboratories, and money laundering.

The series follows Ulrich Larsen, called "the Mole", a former chef living on benefits who spends 10 years infiltrating the Korean Friendship Association (KFA).

[4] Ulrich Løvenskjold Larsen (born 14 September 1976), the mole of the documentary, is a former chef, who was forced to retire early due to chronic inflammation in the pancreas, and now lives on government benefits.

[9][10] He started filming the meetings, officially to post them to social media, but with the real intention of offering them to Brügger should he be interested in making a sequel to Det Røde Kapel.

[4] After years of gaining his trust, Alejandro Cao de Benós entrusts Ulrich with secrets about North Korea and offers him confidential tasks.

Through covert recordings of negotiations between regime representatives and the fake businessman, the documentary shows how North Korea is ignoring United Nations (UN) sanctions to trade oil, drugs, and money.

[4] In an October 2020 interview with DR in connection with the premier, Larsen said that he had become more vigilant, placing empty drinks cans on door handles in hotels, so he is warned if anybody tries to enter.

[3] Sam Wollaston of The Guardian describes him as "polite" and "unassuming", saying: "His unmemorable 44-year-old face is how I imagine an efit template might be, what you start with before you add distinguishing features.

[27] Politiken gave it five out of six hearts and described it as convincing and nerve-racking,[21] while Berlingske and Jyllands-Posten rated it five out of six stars and called it marvelously entertaining and extremely impressive, respectively.

[25] Bo Tao Michaëlis of Ekko [da] rated it five out of six stars and wrote that it was brilliantly fascinating from beginning to end, describing it as a "007-movie without fast car chases and hot blondes" and applauding Brügger's decision to pair the anonymous Larsen with the former Foreign Legionary and criminal Latrache-Qvortrup.

[31] The Swedish and Danish foreign ministers, Ann Linde and Jeppe Kofoed, announced on 12 October 2020 that they would bring the documentary to the attention of the UN Sanctions Committee, and also raise the issues in the European Union.
