Name.........: This World - Escaping North Korea.WnA.avi

The dramatic stories of North Koreans who are risking everything, including torture

and execution, to escape the repression and hunger of their homeland and reach safety

in the South.

The border between the two Koreas is so heavily guarded that refugees are forced to

flee into China, dodging border guards and risking freezing to death crossing the

river that divides the two countries.

Once in China, they are forced to live secret lives, the women often sold into forced marriages or prostitution, because if discovered, the Chinese authorities will send them back.

This film follows two women who have decided to embark on the next stage of the

journey, a desperate attempt to reach South Korea. For May, it involves a four

thousand mile journey through the jungles of Laos and Thailand, to claim asylum in

Bangkok.

For Guem Hee, it means buying a fake passport and risking arrest at any

moment. For both women, it is a moving story of leaving their loved ones behind in the

biggest gamble of their lives.
