Crossing Heaven's Border<http://aparc.fsi.stanford.edu/events/crossing-heavens-border>

Contemporary Asia Seminar

Hark Joon Lee, Filmmaker and Newspaper Reporter

Mr. Lee, South Korean filmmaker and newspaper reporter, will share his experiences from 2007 to 2011 when he lived among North Korean defectors in China, filming an award-winning documentary on their struggles. Crossing Heaven’s Border is the firsthand account of his experiences there, where he witnessed human trafficking, the smuggling of illicit drugs by North Korean soldiers, and a rare successful escape from North Korea by sea.

As Lee traces the often tragic lives of North Korean defectors who were willing to risk everything for their hopes, he journeys to Siberia in pursuit of hidden North Korean lumber mills; to Vietnam, where defectors make desperate charges into foreign embassies; and along the 10,000-kilometer escape route for defectors stretching from China to Laos and to Thailand.

Books will be available for sale at the event
