Crossing is the first major independent film to capture the dire situation of North Korean refugees and North Korea’s denial of human rights crisis, and is South Korea’s official entry for the 2009 Oscar Best Foreign Language Film category.
“a ‘Schindler’s List’ for North Korea.” — Wall Street Journal
The film is about a North Korean father who crosses the border to China in search of food, leaving his ailing wife and 11-year-old son behind. After reaching South Korea, he desperately tries to bring his family out of North Korea. It is an extremely sad and realistic portrayal of the daily lives of North Koreans, political prisoners and refugees. This film was also nominated by the South Korean Film Academy as the representative film for the nation to the 2009 Academy Awards.
