Risking everything, and defying her family, Suja sets out to find him, embarking on a dangerous and uncertain journey that will test both of their love and their will to survive. In this vivid and moving story, award-winning documentary filmmaker Ann Shin offers a rare glimpse at life inside the guarded walls of North Korea, and the harrowing experiences of those who are daring enough to attempt escape.
