    Minyang, a 17-year-old from a small North Korean town, embarks on a dangerous journey across the Yalu River towards freedom in China amidst oppressive guards and shot-on-sight orders. North Korean refugees commonly face week-long treks, detention, and years of hiding to escape their harsh reality, with South Korea being the most sought destination due to cultural ties and citizenship opportunities. The escape routes are perilous, as few manage to navigate through border zones and the heavily fortified demilitarized zone towards South Korea.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    In 1994, Minyang’s life changes drastically when her father is arrested, leading her to question North Korea’s oppressive regime. At 17, she makes the courageous choice to flee to China, initially to visit relatives but later coerced to remain due to fears of retribution against her family. Adapting to life in China, she learns Mandarin but is nearly captured by authorities; after surviving her ordeal, she eventually secures a new identity and job in Shanghai, paving her way towards asylum in South Korea after years of challenges and hard work.

    Shiung’s fictional story highlights the dangers many North Koreans face while escaping. Struggling under poverty, she is deceived by a broker and sold into human trafficking in China. After enduring severe abuse and isolation for two years, she finally escapes and embarks on a harrowing journey to Mongolia. Alongside fellow defectors, she overcomes immense hardships in a desert before reaching safety, ultimately succeeding in finding freedom, serving as a reminder of the dire circumstances many North Koreans face and the higher risks women encounter in their quest for liberation.

    a Chinese broker who helps people cross

    the border for a small fee he promises

    shelter food and even work to shiun it
