American Hero living in North Korea

Private Dresnok deserted his US army unit in the early 1960s from South Korea to the DPRK in the North. Several others followed him but hes the only one remaining alive in North Korea. He suffered all his life, coming from poor backgrounds. And he finally found his home in the DPRK, where he still lives.

It would be nice to have an honest open discussion with the video uploader, but I know it will never happen.

[Okhlopkov]

@MrBigglessworth Why is that?

[Garedenofeden]

Does anyone know what the name of this program/documentary is called? While I am an American, and while I may not agree with his decision on moving to North korea, I am also not judgemental and would love to hear his side of the story! Anybody?

[Okhlopkov]

@Garedenofeden The documentary is called "Crossing the Line" from 2006 by Daniel Gordon. Its a BBC documentary.

Hero? This guy is scum! Hear what he did to the other defectors, yes, there were others. He would beat them! Watch the 60 minutes video - an american in north korea. North Korean Posted This One!

[Okhlopkov]

And guess who we have to rely on as "proof" for these baseless allegations. Thats right.. the other "defectors" that want to give Dresnok a bad name and that want to politically assault the DPRK. There are no other evidences of such "beat-ups".

I have spent two years in Iran as a Physician Lecturer. When I returned to America, I was SHOCKED to find that Iran was about to be attacked. You MUST stop listening to your media, leaders and churches here. Lies have never advanced civilization. - Dr Joseph Huntington
