Escaping North Korea: The Painful Price of Freedom
This documentary follows North Koreans risking everything to flee south, where only a fraction of those who try ever make it. It shows how escape is only the beginning, as defectors face isolation, guilt, and the pain of children and family left behind. Their testimony reveals the hidden costs of freedom won at such a price. Intimate and affecting, it puts human faces to one of the world's most closed societies.
