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. The people we meet in the film argue that South and North Korea can never be utopias but merely sites of ideology. The increasing number of North Korean defectors choosing to leave for a third country after risking their lives to come to South Korea suggests that the living conditions in North and South Korea are harsh, and that deep prejudice in South Korea has been driving them away. The film offers an opportunity to reflect upon the problems of Korean society where outsiders and social minorities are rejected and excluded. [KWON Geumsang]
