Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:

  • Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ SpiritualityandPractice.com
    • Excerpt: A documentary that embeds viewers with defectors from North Korea on their harrowing journey to freedom.
  • Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
    • Excerpt: As is made abundantly clear by Gavin, most Westerners only know what the Kim regime, currently led by Kim Jong Un, want us to know… In fact, human rights abuses in North Korea are so unparalleled, their only comparison is to Nazi Germany, and yet the world allows 26 million to exist under these conditions.
  • Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
    • Excerpt: It’s therefore a tough movie to watch. But an important one to make certain you do. Because even if you too have come to the point of numbness for these crazy escapes, the necessity of bearing witness never goes away.
  • [New] | Bev Questad @ itsjustmovies.com
    • Excerpt: Madeleine Gavin, director and editor, skillfully braids three painful stories of attempted defection into a thrilling adventure documentary that motivated me to donate to the cause.
  • James Wegg @ JWR
    • Excerpt: “We were just born in the wrong country”
