NKHR is holding a film screening of the groundbreaking Korean movie "Crossing" (w/English subs) and a Q&A session with a North Korean defector (in English & Korean) after the movie to answer your questions about the dangerous defection process and the abysmal human rights situation in North Korea.

All proceeds will go to rescuing six North Korean refugees who are trapped in temporary transit countries and desperately trying to make their way to safety in South Korea.

This event is a part of the 'North Korean Human Rights Refugee Rescue Fund' and all fees and donations will be used to support and save vulnerable North Korean refugees who are hiding in countries like China, still waiting to be rescued from the risk of repatriation and prison camps.

The venue was generously offered by the CUBA Language Exchange in Suwon!

Location: "별밤" POP ("Byeolbam" Pop.) 
1042-9 5th Fl, Ingyedong, Paldalgu, Suwon 442-834

Most people will take a short cab ride from Suwon Station to Ingyedong CGV. From there, they should go up the street next to KB bank (three intersections.) There will be a 7 Eleven on the right hand corner. Turn left and look up at the building to the left. "별밤" POP is on the fifth floor of that building. There is an elevator in the back left hand corner of the entry.

We will be accepting donations during the event and people who donate 20,000 or more will receive a complementary 'Thank you!' gift from NKHR for showing your support for human rights in North Korea and standing in solidarity with the refugees who have escaped, but are still living in fear of repatriation.

Our gift is a beautiful tumbler decorated by award winning children's artwork depicting the human rights abuses that children must endure in North Korea. The art illustrates the horror of North Korean prison camps, but also reveals hope for a better tomorrow.

Hope to see you there!

NKHR is inviting a North Korean Defector to come share his personal testimony about survival in North Korea, his time in a prison camp, escape to China, defection process to South Korea and the hardships he faced throughout his harrowing journey. 

Testimonial Quotes:

"Because people are deemed criminals in North Korea, they are then starved. But this does not take away from the fact that they are human. They also possess love, a conscience, morality, and a mind. They are just caught in the flow of evil, and are left to survive it if they can."

"It was almost as if we were no longer human beings, but more like goods being exchanged. I agonized over what would lie ahead. A worse feeling was realizing that the regime which virtually created our crimes to cover its own faults was treating us like beasts."

The event will include a Q&A session (in English & Korean) after the testimonial to answer your questions about the dangerous defection process and the abysmal human rights situation in North Korea.

All proceeds will go to rescuing six North Korean refugees who are trapped in temporary transit countries and desperately trying to make their way to safety in South Korea.

NKHR is hosting a movie screening of the groundbreaking Korean movie "Crossing" (w/English subs) and a Q&A session with a North Korean defector (in English & Korean) after the movie to answer your questions about the dangerous defection process and the abysmal human rights situation in North Korea.

"Crossing", directed by Kim Tae-gyun, follows the emotionally overwhelming journey of a North Korean man who illegally leaves the country in a desperate attempt, despite the risks, to find a medicine for his sick wife. The movie portrays the incredible hardships of an average North Korean citizens and the gravity of the risks many defectors are at the risk of and must confront. 

We will also have a Q&A with a North Korean defector following the movie. At this event, we will have Kim Hyuk, who has been kind enough to share his experience and answer questions to better depict the reality of the escape from North Korea.

This event is a part of the 'North Korean Human Rights Refugee Rescue Fund'  and all fees and donations will be used to support and save vulnerable North Korean refugees who are hiding in countries like China, still waiting to be rescued from the risk of repatriation and prison camps.
