Featured review
One of the best documentaries I've ever seen
I was lucky enough to catch this during an Asian film festival and wish that it would come out on DVD. It's the poignant story of a young girl's abduction by North Korean spies and her family's attempts to get her back. It's truly amazing that events like this go on in modern times, but they probably occur more than the general public is aware of, and we only get insight into these sad events through excellent documentaries like this one. The story's ending, sadly, will come as no surprise to anyone who knows about the North Korean government. However, the story is still compelling and the ending does have a few odd twists in store. It would be difficult to watch this movie and not feel incredible empathy for this poor girl and her family. I've always been a fan of documentaries, and the few that manage to expose the injustices of society are in a league of their own. This is excellent viewing and highly recommended.
