At a safe house in China, a brother and sister collapse into each other arms. For months, 'Uncle Jung' has been trying to smuggle his sister and her family out of North Korea. Today, they crossed the Tumen river into China. "We wanted to wait for darkness but were afraid the guards would find us", explains Park Myong Kwan. "So we just jumped into the river". One risky journey may have ended for the Park family but another is just beginning. China regularly returns refugees to North Korea where they face almost certain execution. In contrast, Thailand deports immigrants to South Korea. Over the next week, the Parks will travel by any means possible to the Lao border, a journey of 4,000 miles. They don't speak Chinese and don t have any documents. "We feel like we're lying on a chopping board right now", confides Park Myong Kwan. "It's like we're gambling but the stakes are our lives". But for them, the gamble pays off. They make it to Thailand before being arrested. In a few months, they will be flown to South Korea, where they can build a new life.

Good to see the Thai understand and have a heart rather then sending them back to North Korea
They're a democratic country with ties to the west and a lot of tourism from South Korea , and others....so of course.
Thai people are lovely especially the girls😍😍😻😻
Lee Ice "Girls" you mean ladyboys
it was only because of the UN.. they send everyone else back.
Y
I can’t imagine how much anxiety they must of had. Makes you really thankful for what you have and where you were born.
What about the freedom of Americans? Look at all the innocent lives Bush and Obama have killed using brainwashed American troopers. 90% of people killed by the Drone Program of Obama were innocent. 1,000,000 innocent lives were killed in Irak with the excuse of WMDs. People believe anything in the USA. Russia Gate, Nicolás Maduro is a dictaror, etc. Please pray for OUR freedom.
Boy I've never felt so grateful!!!!
I was born in Denmark. Every day I am grateful that I have the opportunities I have. I can study whatever I want, for free (and I'll even get paid for it). I can go to the hospital and be treated, for free. I never have to worry about shelter or food. Life is amazing here, I am so sad that a lot of people in the world don't have the same opportunities as I do

My grandparents escaped from North Korea. Grandma by Boat and Gramps by land. Both made it out and 2 generations later, here I am. First generation American with a life full of opportunities, much more than the majority of the world. Strange how life works isnt it.
edit: bitcoin :)
Whoa | k.
Damn.
Congrats and God Bless I hope North Korea can free themselves of that parasite they call their leader. If he’s able to live the way he does off of the Korean people imagine what they’d be capable of as a first world country with a good leader.
I hope your not a Berkley college douch joining Antifa , and telling us how wonderful socialism , is

"I'm not betraying my country I'm just trying to find more freedom" my friend your country betrayed u. Thankx GOD they made it!
Who do you credit when they don't make it? God not care about those people?
@@buttkid3548 Deuteronomy 29:29
Please remove this video, it is great that we outside North Korea have the right to know what goes on there and even be able to help. The problem is these videos show strategies on how people escape, if the North Korean government finds these videos they can implememt tighter control measures to keep people from escaping.
Francois Human, You are somehow right. This vedio does not help other defectors when crossing from the board compared to the past. But showing such a reality programme, million of people can be more aware of the N.K. political situation as to support those people.
Francois Human Im pretty sure that North Korea knows all the different ways people try to leave. Sure this video shows one way, but with the vast distances they travel and the size of the countries they are travelling through, it would be.like looking for a needle in a haystack for North Korea to locate anyone escaping. Most of the ones who do get caught, is usually because of their own stupidity or they become too ill or just get unlucky and get arrested.
This was filmed ages ago. Under Kim Jong Un, security has become much tighter than it was in 2007. The DPRK government is well aware people escape by crossing the Tumen River, there's no secrets revealed here...
Francois Human pretty sure they don't see this ..
The only way to really escape is to bribe the border guards at night. Since the guards don't get paid shit, they will absolutely accept money. They also have to keep a secret because how are you suppose to explain how these people escaped, they will be executed for doing a terrible job. So they get paid, and they shut up to keep their heads.
My grandparents, aunt, mother, and their maid escaped from the behind the Iron Curtain in '47 because a family friend informed them the night before it was to happen that they were going to be arrested. I'm old now and it saddens me that people still have to run for their lives from these horrible regimes. I wish the best for this family and I pray they find the freedom and happiness all human beings deserve.
God bless your family and the refugees of the world. ☮
Why north Korean people unite and protest against Kim jong
@@northeastvillagelife9918 north east, are you seriously that naive? 🤔 Cause they will get murdered obviously. It's like asking why didn't the Jews protested against the Nazi government
@@northeastvillagelife9918Because if they do it may end up badly, considering how brutal North Korea's government is, a similar event like the Tiananmen Square massacre could happen and kill thousands of innocent protestant north korean citizens
Bless Ur beautiful heart. I hope U had a great chance at life 😌 and Ur family too
"I am not betraying my country. I am just looking for my freedom". It goes with "our love ones are the ones that hurt us most".
These people just wanted to live and survive normally, yet their country whom they love betrays them. Hope you are doing great now SK .

I am Laotian and when i visited Laos last yr i saw some oddly looking ppl who i suspected to be NK defectors, i knew their situation and wanted to help them so i gave them $200 each person, the entire family was $800. I still wonder if they are safe
From where so much money
@@watsinurfreezer8789 i live in the US, I visit Laos 3 times a year and i have my own business. I was with my 3 nephews and never would want to see them in that situation
good
Thank you! So kind of you! You will be blessed :)
wats in ur freezer very stupid question!!
all countries should help people in North Korea
and people in Afghanistan, Iran, and Saudi Arabia
rose donna & the people of the crazy,.at war, & starving countries.
rose donna
Saudi Arabia is a rich country
The U.S. has always helped them. Their propaganda News will say, "This is what the U.S. sent to us because they fear and mainly completely respect Kim. Of course, The NK believes every word from the News. We send them a lot of clothes. They don't have clothing stores there. Instead, They evenly trade clothes with their people. I just can't stand Kim and his fat a$$ nor trust him. I wonder how things are going to pan out betweern us and them. Yeah I don't trust Kim but I do trust Trump so I know whatever happens, He won't take any risks that would hurt the U.S. Prayer needed because those people need our help.
What!?! All countries should help women and people of color in America. Or are you blinded by your white male privilege to see how oppressed we are?
I bet they got a shock when they arrived in Seoul
God don't exist.
Kristopher Brewer , it's called a choice. God gives us that choice to do right or wrong. Are evil people excemp from his judgement, never! You and I will all have to pay for our deeds. That clown of a president has it coming. Nothing or no one is above God. Until you have a personal relationship with God, you can say that he is just made belief. May God enlighten all of us to do his will. More importantly, may we choose to listen. Take care.
Callum B shut the fuck up bitch he does ya asswipe
typical neandertal god fearing comment
Luis Franco ur stupid
And we complain about our coffee being too hot or cold.
cuz we can
it is so sad my brother
They complain about those things too lol... such a dumb comment
Alas that's called freedom.
y’all act like we can’t express our problems all because people have it worse
I m Vietnamese refugees, escaped the communism regime 40 years ago and settled in the Australia, i was about younger than the boy,but we escaped by boat then, so many people had died in the sea,in the borders, this clip brought back all the dangerous, hardships memories , I gladly see them made in free country, I would do again and again if’s I have to do that again! Communism is monsters should not be allowed to exist in the world, but I don’t know why still have the people that believe in them!!! I know their family is very happy by now because I am one of them!!!!! Thank Australia, thanks all the free country around the world help us escaped from communism!!!
Glad you're safe at Australia, is in Vietnam now still under a communism rule ? Would like to know about that, cheers from your neighbour country Indonesia.

Come back to Vietnam in 2020 and tell me it’s a communist shithole.
CK is a hero! The world needs more caring and brave people like him. I'm so glad that this lovely NK family managed to escape to SK and I hope they are now having a happy and safe life.
NightOwl Yes CK is a hero and he said his last mission the park family
To escape to SK its the last option as it very heavily protected and its hard

I'm sure everybody wants the hell out! I can't imagine anyone feels particularly at peace there.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍😍
It’s like the cameras are rolling.. they put on a show and act. But deep down we don’t even know what the hell goes on in there or why there put through.. seen some leaked footage of torture and cruelty.. and that’s just the scratch to the surface. Them obviously wanting to get the hell out of there says enough! I wish someday I can speak to a North Korean one day!

@Mickeys Time i guess so
My hometown is in the Chinese province that borders North Korea. I have heard about the horrible treatments on those escapers caught back to North Korea since I was a child. But I knew Chinese government would also send them back just several years ago. CCP is not so much better than North Korea. I am study abroad now and hope to stay here in the future. Communism is the worst virus of the world!

No one talks about how Thailand is so humane and thought about the safety of the NK defectors and bring them to SK... Praise the heavens for Thailand. ❤️❤️❤️
It's been 16 years and I hope they had arrived safely and lived a good life. Amazing job that some people do, putting their safety at risk for the wellbeing of others.
This family's courage is outstanding. I am in awe of them & every other person who attempted that journey.

@@derxert521 @Tiger Tiger
China has the most sophisticated oppressive government in the world. They have a police state unlike any other on this earth, efficient and cruel. In China's northeastern providences, they track peoples faces, locations, community gatherings and more to give every citizen there a "citizen score," and if that score falls too low, they can't travel, they lose jobs, they get imprisoned. Members of the Uyghur ethnic and religious group, native to that region, are being placed into concentration (or "re-education") camps, being separated from their families, being "disappeared," etc. China has a brutal history of human rights violations and war crimes, and that history is still being written.

@Farrel Maja Mahardika trying to ingratiate from there countries to the us is also a 89% of death
I actually remember seeing this documentary way back in 2007 on World's Untold Stories on CNN (with Dan Rivers serving as reporter, I think). Like a lot of recent comments, I am also curious as to the fate of the Park family and Myong Chol. But after a bit of googling around, I have simply found nothing about them beyond this documentary. The most I have is the transcript from Journeyman Pictures that put down their names:
Park Myong Kwan (Mr. Park)
Kwon Sun Yo (Mrs. Park)
(Park?) Wun Jong (daughter)
(Park?) Chol Hak (son); and
Lee Myong Chol (the family friend)
I could only recall that the CNN anchor noted that the Park family (and Myong Chol?) have successfully relocated to South Korea (after the documentary finished running). But take my shaky memory with a grain of salt.
That said, a lot more is known about 'CK' (aka Kim Sang Hun). He was actually born in North Korea, but his family moved to South Korea before the Korean War. His adult life was spent in various postings from the United Nations, but it was only once he hit retirement age that he really started to think about projects to help North Korean defectors escape to South Korea. If this defection took place in 2007, then CK would have been around 75 at that time. He's also the first chairman of the NGO Database Center for North Korean Human Rights (founded in 2003). And according to his Korean wikipedia page he is still alive at the age of 90 (as of this writing).
Something I now wonder is whether the children (Cho Hak and Wun Jong) would have attended Hangyeore Middle and High School, a school built specifically in 2006 to receive North Korean children before sending them over to South Korean schools. If so, they would have been around other North Korean children who defected either on their own or (not likely) with their parents.
But something that has really hit me is how so much time has past since this documentary was made. Wun Jong, who was 23 in 2007, would now be almost 40 at this point....
Any update on the family?
Yes, I would like to hear updates on how this family is doing now.
Only managed to find this documentary in the CNN archives, but its not watchable. Thats the only thing I could find even the internet archive leads to a dead end. If it wasn't for this this video to be here on youtube It would be lost to time.
Thank God for all the brave ppl that helped them in this journey to freedom. May God continue to bless u to be a blessing to others!!
I somehow wish that Thailand or Laos or China Government would be more compassionate and cooperative in helping these people who are only seeking for freedom in life...
thailand is very accepting of north korea they will arrest them for being a illegal immigrant then maybe give them a right to remain or fly them to south korea they have freedom then
Keep on praying for the safety of them and all who will follow in JESUS HOLY NAME AMEN!
Ian Bryant So your saying Thailand does not send North Koreans to the south?

Why not following their story when they reached to South Korea?
Perhaps they fear for their safety
There’s prolly a shot ton of dprk agents in sk but they are most likely after more important individuals tbh

they now are living in south korea
If they go to China and if they are caught they will go to jail

My family fle to Thailand from Laos in this river back in 1979. That was the time north Vietnam invasion Laos. After 39 yrs later the mekong river still had not forgot.
What a nice lovable family. I hope they are happy and have found good friends. Must have been terrible sad to leave their friends and relatives behind,knowing they might never ever see them again.
Every great story deserves a ending!!! Would love to see their smiling faces once they... if they... ever arrived in South Korea..
I'm sure they made it to South Korea.
ejr23 you're not sure. You think they made it. But without proof its 50/50.

As long as they made it over the border to Mongolia, or Thailand, they're on South Korea right now; both countries automatically send defectors to SK.

These people who help people escape are heroes.
OMG.... so this is 12 years old! Has there ever been an update? I want to know how this courageous family have fared in South Korea. That poor man whose wife and child left him during the famine may not have even survived which is an awful thought and he may be better off having moved on to leave behind the thoughts which evidently tormented him. I hope the pastor is still alive and hopefully not risking his life anymore. This was such a tense situation for all and was great they managed to capture on video, things like the rivers they crossed and long train journeys because nobody can imagine the hell people will go to, to escape the Kim regime.
Apparently if people go via Mongolia instead, they have to pass through desert but I’ve no idea if that is on foot, by rail or by road.
People who defect are so strong. It’s disgusting that China or Laos won’t accept people seeking asylum, even if it’s a temporary measure to get them to South Korea.
Why don't you f*cking send them money and invite them to stay in your own home? This is a problem of the two Koreas. Why must China be involved?
one of them (yeonmi park) has her own book and youtube channel talking about it.
@@1he0n3and0nlyno that’s not her
@@1he0n3and0nlythat’s not yeonmi how do you confuse them
I think it’s by foot, the Gobi Desert is for most part, Hot as hell, raked with a lot of dangerous wildlife and very little food or water to keep yourself from catching heat exhaustion. NK defectors don’t have any easy options to escape Rocketman’s totalitarian grip on the country. If you choose to escape by sea from the western or eastern part of NK, you’ll risk drowning, hypothermia, extreme weather and getting caught by NK patrol boats, obviously going through the DMZ is not an option as that area is heavily guarded and only NK’s elite own cars under government approval. You’ll risk getting smoked on sight. The best way is either through China or Russia and reach the S. Korean consulate but that also carries risk as both China and Russia’s immigration policy is to send all NK defectors back to the country. The family on this video took a rather much more risky route than any other option, China’s a really big country, and heavily patrolled. Thailand doesn’t share a border with China but rather with Laos and Myanmar, two countries with friendly ties to NK which makes it even more tense. Getting to Thailand would require going through the jungles of Laos which also has dangerous wildlife before you can reach the Men Kong River. Imo, fleeing NK is worse than escaping Mexico or Venezuela, it is remarkable how NK defectors manage to pull off such an escape. Knowing well that they risk death if they’re caught or while on their journey. But no matter what route they take, death is almost a guarantee to them, for them it’s just another wall but with an open crack.
It's no joke, I cried on this especially when the NoKor girl cried. 😭 14:46
It's literally unthinkable that we complained things in a free world were in fact complaining in a communist country will literally send you into jail.

Oh please! We are still able to complain. Sorry(not sorry) I wasn’t born in a cesspool like North Korea but Americans and other western countries are still allowed to have issues and complainants

Dawid Czerniak NK's too risky to attack or force to do something. It was our mistake to let them grow before but during the nuclear tensions of the Cold War they started to grow themselves. Now, attacking them means China and Russia will give us trouble and the west coast is going to get a thermonuclear warm hello from NK. It's too risky without compromising other countries whose interests in NK also make them targets, only China and/or Russia rejecting NK or a coincidental tragedy within NK will open doors for us
GriffinBrotatoChip huh?
Dawid Czerniak , when they do. We will have a just world. Where no colour of skin will be treated unequal.
This video is one of the best NK videos I have seen. The family is very touching. I can't believe they filmed everything from the beginning of the NK trip to Thailand. I am so happy for them. It's already been 16 years now, I wonder what happened to them, if they made it to SK and if the family friend with them managed to bring his family to SK. Does anyone have any news about them?
I just imagine how many North Koreans try to escape and of them how many might have survived. At the same time, watching this video reassures how important the freedom is.
Millions of thanks to those who have been helping to escape.
Every country should help the people from North Korea escape. These people are suffering so horribly. So unfair. We all need to help these people.
Jung speaks very good english
Their daughter’s so beautiful she looks like a South Korean girl
Who says North koreans are ugly?
Only their supreme leader is.
I mean, she’s Korean...
Lol Because she's Korean..
The border is just a line drawn on a map ripping people apart
I just wish there was a followup video of their life after scape.
Yes, that will be very helpful
I feel so sad for the people in North Korea, they have been so isolated from the rest of the world that I doubt they may feel alienated when set free. The World need to do something for these oppressed people.
they have been true soo much that even hearing that they might die doesn't "scare" them more than staying in this country ... that crazy how wanting to survive can make you feel and motivate you to do extreme things
So sad to find out that this kind of thing is still going on today

No need to worry for them if they get caught in Thailand. Thailand is the gate way to south korea it is the only neightboring country that allowed north korean to be deported in the south. It will only take them months before they could take off, thats's the difference if they were able to make it to the embassy.
CK is a hero!
May God bless all the people who give aid to those escaping the hardship of their native country.
i wonder what happened to them after they detained in thailand, is there a continuation of it? such a nice documentary, hope to see more
SpakoL SpakoL they are immediately again sent to South Korean embassy after having a brief interview to identify their nationality, and which is a part of process....

Thank you to Thailand Government for opportunity to those people living di South Korea
I guess we will never know how the family fared after their escape. In my head. The family managed to carve out a life for themselves in S. Korea and lived happily ever after!
Where is the family now? I hope they are safe and together. Regards from India 🇮🇳
The escapees know the value of freedom.
And once they find freedom then they're happy.
I had no idea it was this tough. I'm exhausted after a few hours in a car, and they ad to do all that? Respect to them. Hope they're doing well.
i’d love to see their reactions of their “first” everything in seoul- first look at a real metropolis at nighttime with all the flashing lights and screens, first taste of yummy foods that they’ve never even seen before.. first taste of real freedom.. :)
Well, I think that by seeing Bangkok, that already is their “first” experience of seeing a metropolis at night with the skyscrapers and everything
They ate yummy food 13:54
this breaks my heart, i hope they're doing well
As a refugee I can see & understand the fair and pain in thier eyes no body deserve this
i cried so much i can afford to put my self in their struggle in north korea Lord help them i prayed for it ....
Im from ph and our neighbor is a north korean defector
Wish we could follow up on how the family is doing now.
Deported
john cuervo I’m sorry you got deported
Yea i really want to know what happened
My heart!! I got so happy once they got to Thailand. How sad and cruel that they don’t have freedom in their own country. I pray they’re in a better place now
Awww 😥😥my heart goes out to this family and all the people who are living life under a tyrant. The relief and worry the parents would have crossing the river knowing full well that their kids could be caught at any moment. It's a terrifying scene to live out
Watched this in August 2024, when they made it to my country, Thailand, I cried. Live well and prosper, my friends.
Blows my mind they were all willing to choose suicide over being caught and returned to their country. Shows how awful things are there. Puts things in perspective about what's really important in life. Hope they adjusted well.
Many thanks Thailand. Man, that place was a living nightmare.
For it being an entire family plus one of their friends this defecting went more successfully than usual.
Hope you might have a follow-up; I just was on the edge of my chair this whole time worrying for them, so happy they made it to Thailand! Would love to know how all are today. The young man whose wife & child had abandoned him - I hope he's doing very well & that his wife & child are doing very well, too. But if his wife & child cannot be found, he is very nice looking & compassionate, and he can start fresh with a new wife, & start a new family.
What a sad story. I do hope this family made it to South Korea . It will take many years to recover from all their trauma.
i wish they're doing well till now, even my family doesn't make a lot of money to support our live, but i never felt any starving in my life. such the sadest thing to hear that many people died for a cup of rice.
I suggest you all read "The Orphan Master's Son" then you will know the true misery these people suffer.
Diane Fitzpatrick that is a good book. It has still stuck with me
Imagine being so oppressed that you think China is a freedom paradise. Damn man.
He wouldn't have the same impression had he seen the United States first. He might not even live to give us a comment since somebody suddenly shot him for being Asian.
thank you for filming from start to end!
pls subtitles instead of strange accent voice-over !!
English speaking english
@@maaan8494 yes but they are speaking another language in the background, it's hard to hear the English.
@@amberrose1108 He didnt complain about being able to hear it, he complained about the accent.
Lol,i am having the same problem
Anyone and any country in the world should accept North Koreans and help them overcome. Its so sad to see how much pain they endured
Its crazy how compared to the south koreans ... the north korean women are gorgeous...without makeup or anything
I thought I was the only one who noticed
There was an old saying
Beautiful women are from the north amd handsome men are from the south
I want an update!!! D: i really want to know what happened with this family and if they finally got their freedom!
Same😢😂
awe,😢 wish them well
As a vietnamese citizen, i’ve met a nk defector. They were really nice, I hope they are alright.
Thanks all of you and Thailand.
God Bless each person who helped them escape.I hope each one of them is doing great😭💗
