48th Parallel



Is the DMZ (demilitarized zone) Between North and South Korea. It is known as the most dangerous border in the world due to the estimated 3 million mines placed just in that area and the constant watch between both sides. Rather than crossing to gain refuge to the south, many North Koreans who decide to defect usually go through china where if caught they will be sent back to the north and placed in labor camps.

Surprisingly not many people are aware of that conflict since the north is so secretive. But people who managed to escape got to share their stories. This is the first movie ever made on one of those unfortunate events.




I found out that they made a movie on the dailynk.com



Im so glad they made this rather than another documentary because the reenactments are pretty precise to the way the defectors of the north describe it. this was a pretty good movie,. I sat down and watched it yesterday on youtube by making a playlist of the parts so I didnt have to keep on getting up to change the thing haha. I was soo happy i found the movie online! Ive been looking for it for the past 6 months and I find it in the place id least expect it to be haha.
