Dragon is a human smuggler who leads North Korean defectors across borders for a living. His latest undercover trip with Sook-Ja and Yong-hee takes an unexpected turn when they are left stranded in China, putting their dramatic escape plan into question. Their perilous journey reflects the reality of tens of thousands of North Koreans currently in hiding in China. Filmed undercover by a Korean-Canadian filmmaker, Ann Shin gets intimate access with these three individuals in this POV film and explores universal questions about human rights, smuggling and the pursuit of freedom.
This documentary was produced by Syndicado and directed by Ann Shin. It was first released in 2012.

I am blessed to be in a safe country; Canada, I wish I could help any North Korean person. I appreciate everything I have and feel enormous sympathy for all North Koreans struggling to live in a safe country. 😢😢😢😢😢😢
It’s very humbling to see the bravery of these people escaping North Korea. I will them all the best luck in the world 🌎
its like watching a horror movie
I feel for dragon not getting paid hes risking his neck but this was filmed awhile back i hope they're all doing well ! I never realized when i was in Thailand guessing i could have helped financially if i go back who knows
So sad that innocent people suffer cuz a mere man is playing GOD 🤨🤔😤🤬💯
I find that the reporter seems to be very one sided with regards to the defectors. I agree that Dragon is a broker and it's illegal but as he said their fine with promising anything before their departure but once their on the other side they don't follow up with their promise to pay. The whole action is illegal whether it be broker or defector. Thanks for your video from Kitchener Ontario Canada
