This was an amazing documentary! I had no idea this was going on. Thank you for raising the awareness. Can you please air “Crossing Heaven’s Border” again? I am recommending it to my friends to see it.

Powerful. I wish with all my heart that there will be a day when the people of North Korea and the people in the U.S. may speak freely with each other and learn from each other the value of our unique experiences. I wish that for people all around the world…

what can we Americans do to aid the people of the DPRK? China is the only country with power over the DPRK. Educated Chinese are torn apart by the situation in the DPRK; it reminds them of their own or their relatives’ suffering during the great famine and the cultural revolution…but….must we wait a generation or two for the PRC to pull the plug on the DPRK? What could be a catalyst?

The story of North Koreans taking such risks to reach freedom really lends an important perspective the whole concept of human rights, and how it is so easy for Americans to stay removed from the struggles. We must not continue to look the other way.

How brave these people are. My heart was breaking when the mom was saying goodbye to her son. I was releived when she made it through immigration at BKK airport (where I have been so many times). So glad to see her reunion with him at the airport. The reporters were also so brave to do this very worthwhile story. It needs to be heard and seen.

A compelling and heartwarming story. This shows the power of freedom and a belief in a higher being. Her testimony is an indictment of the cruelty and tyranny of the Kim Jong Il regime and also of hope for the future of not only herself but for the people of North Korea.
