Seoul Train

Seoul Train was fascinating and quite the eye opener. It was crazy to see how miserable people are in North Korea, and how desperate they are to get out. It was shocking to see how many people are willing to attempt to escape, even after knowing the consequence of getting caught. The one woman really got to me when she was quoted saying that if she doesn't make it out, she'd rather just commit suicide, because it's not worth it to go back and have to endure the horrendous conditions. Another seen that really hit home was the scene where they filmed a community of people, and there was absolutely on food. The children were literally on their hands and knees trying to find any bit of food scraps, just to survive. I fully support anyone trying to help the cause. I give my utmost respect to those campaigning to help the North Koreans, and I applaud those who have the strength to escape and speak out about about how the country is being run.
