This gripping documentary follows newlyweds Songgok and Sueryun, who have escaped North Korea and are beginning a new life in the South. But with family members still across the border, their journey is far from over.

With extraordinary access, the film captures an attempt to bring their loved ones to safety, including the first-ever filmed escape from North Korea by boat.

Screened alongside Hark Joon Lee’s documentary A Good Business, this screening will be followed by a discussion with director Hark-Joon Lee.

This film is part of K-Flow: Riding the Korean Wave, a day-long celebration of Korean culture.

Hark Joon Lee’s documentary A Good Business.
