a movie evoking the attention to North Korean human rights

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

This is a very moving movie about human rights and family relation. The North Korean government is so cruel to their citizens. The father in the movie escaped to China just for buying medicines for his wife. But, his wife died due to the short of health care. His son escaped to China after that. But he didn't make it, right before he could see his father. If I was that father, I would be crazy. He left home in the hope to save his wife's life. But actually, he made his wife died and his son tortured in the labor camp of North Korea and died on the way to find him. So sad.

I am very glad to see so many international organizations helping those North Korean refugees to escape. How can I reach some of those? I wanna donate money to them.

I suggest Chinese government to accept those refugees rather than deport them back to North Korea. They will be killed! I also don't agree with current US ways on treating Mexican illegal immigrants. They are just so desperate. They are hungry. They just need the basic level of life.

There is a saying, "Save one life, save the entire world", which is said at the end of the Schindler's list. There is no excuse to forget them. If we can do it, then do it!
