  • @wenger1972 why don't you go to North Korea and have a look then? Oh wait... no airlines are allowed to fly there.

  • @TermaOsEdo you are an idiot. Why don't you go to North Korea if it is not a bad place.

  • Oh yeah. This isnt biased at all.

    Rolls eyes.

  • Pure CIA-propaganda for justify their invasion plans!!!

  • Coincidence? I saw this movie in Seoul not long after reading the story of an artist who successfully escaped from the DPRK. I saw his paintings at a local gallery. His paintings and his story blew me away. Seeing this movie brought me to such incredible anger , sadness, and despair at the unimaginable, and mostly unseen suffering of DPRK citizens. North Korea is like a living nightmare , a kind of hell on earth.

  • I am really not sure. North Korea is suffering from hunger and South Korea is suffering from identity crisis. They can't even put a title on movies they make with their own language. North Koreans can't watch it because they are only going to see the South Korean propaganda side of the movie. They are very used to seeing propaganda while living in North and they became very sensitive to it.

  • The name of the movie is "Crossing" and someone was kind enough to upload it on youtube. I wish this movie was released in China. Alas, they will never allow it.

  • whats the name of this film
