북도 남도 아닌
Why I Left Both Koreas Synopsis
This documentary sheds light on the lives of North Korean defectors in Europe. North Korean defectors who crossed the ideological boundary over to South Korea are often called forth to bear witness to the plight of North Korean society. Rather than creating a discourse about the recovery of divided culture, the focus has been very much on the conflict of ideology. The increasing number of North Korean defectors is a sign of victory. However, the film testifies that a growing number of people are leaving both Koreas behind.
Why I Left Both Koreas (2017) is a documentary film directed by Choi Jung-ho, released on November 3, 2017 with a runtime of 1h 30m. It stars Choi Jung-ho.
