North Korean Defectors - Movie | Crossing 8 of 10

Movie | Crossing 8 of 10

Crossing is a Korean movie which is going to be aired in late June 2008. The movie is based on a real story about the life of a North Korean defector and his family.

Actor Cha In-pyo starred as a North Korean coal miner who crossed illegally into China to get medicine for his wife. His wife passed away soon after he crossed the border, and he was separated from his 11-year-old son (played by Shin Myung-chul) who was trying to trace him from North Korea.

The story shares the hardship of North Korean refugees in the late 1990s, with famine striking the country and killed an estimated 1 million people.

The North Koreans couldnt cross into South Korea directly because of landmines and heavy military presence at the border these defectors had to cross into China and made a de-tour to South Korea instead.

The Chinese government, an ally of the North Korean regime, does not recognize the defectors as refugees and would send them back to North Korea to face stiff action.

Crossing will represent South Korea as a candidate for the foreign film category at the 81st Academy Awards.

@Jmjager1 You do realise that money will go to the military, right? Or do you think the government is generous enough to give any of it to the people? Please do some research and be careful where you put your money. I want to donate as much as any other person, but that will only make things worse.

This shows you the true evils of the world.

We need to make China accept the North Korean people as refugees and STOP sending them back!

How can China send these people back?! China is even worse than Kim Jong II by sending these people back to a land of torture!! We who are living in a free democracy have to take a stand for these people. Why is it that we are willing to take a stand for our self like the occupy

movement but not for these people???? Why??
