Dir. Madeleine Gavin | Documentary | U.S.A. | 2023 | 1 hr. 55 min. | English and Korean with English subtitles

Winner of the audience award for U.S. documentary at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, this intense, gripping film is both an exploration of the lengths to which North Korean defectors will go to gain freedom, and a rare look inside one of the world’s most oppressive countries. It follows a mother seeking to reunite with her child, a family of five on a perilous journey, and a compassionate pastor assisting them. The risks of escape include severe punishment, exploitation, and retribution, but hope and courage somehow remain indelible.
