I just saw the film at CPHDOX and loved it! WOW! What an intense and gripping documentary tracking these citizens of North Korea who are desperate to escape by any means necessary. A South Korean pastor helps these brave souls and the director, Gavin, is there to record every harrowing movement and decision along the way.
The film has a great filmic presentation, the interviews from the participants are interesting to listen to as they provide a window into their experiences in North Korea. The plight for freedom for all of these North Korean citizens is incredible. It is a stunning and an uncomfortable film to watch, especially the scenes in North Korea prisons or camps, but it is necessary to see. All awards are justly deserved.
