The documentary tells the stories of people who escaped from North Korea and how hard it was for them to find safety.
Beyond Utopia: Escape from North Korea tells the stories of people who have gone through difficult experiences like walking through thick forests and being in prison camps.
Some people had to leave their family behind and don’t know if they are still alive or if they will see them again.
One of the people from North Korea in the movie is Soyeon Lee. She got away from North Korea with the help of Pastor Kim Seongeun, who is also in the movie.
Soyeon, who was in the North Korean army, was caught when she tried to escape for the first time and was sent to a prison camp.
Two years later, she escaped, but she couldn’t bring her 17-year-old son Han Jeong-Cheong with her.
She and Pastor Kim work together to try to help the teenager leave. In a phone call on the film, she tells him that the journey will be very hard.
He says: “It’s a journey that brings me to you, so I can handle anything for you, mom. ”
But Pastor Kim says that it’s not always safe to trust people who say they can help you cross the border. They might actually turn you in to the police instead of helping you. So be careful and think about the risks before you try to cross the border.
The Chinese government, which is North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un‘s best friend, is willing to pay the people who help catch the defectors six months’ worth of salary.
For a long time, Pastor Kim’s church in Seoul, South Korea has helped people escape from the country.
Traveling from North Korea to South Korea is not easy, even though South Korea is the safest place for people escaping from the North Korean regime.
People have to go to the north because it’s really hard to get out of the south.
From there, they need to leave China without making the police suspicious and go to Thailand, which can help them move to South Korea.
When they arrive, the Constitution of the country says that North Koreans are also citizens of South Korea. This means they can start getting used to their new home soon.
Director Madeleine Gavin made a film that got nominated for a big award. The film is about the Roh family, who are a family of five.
Their journey when they left was recorded on camera – including the scary part where they walked through the jungle and heard military police dogs barking behind them.
At a place where they are staying to keep safe on their trip, Pastor Kim leads them in a prayer. He asks Jesus Christ to help them hold on to hope until they reach their destination.
