Beyond Utopia: Watch how a pastor is helping people escape from North Korea

A new documentary tells the story of Pastor Kim, who is helping North Koreans escape the totalitarian dictatorship. Megan Titley went to see it

When a North Korean family discovers they are on a list to be banished and left to die in the mountains, they make an unplanned and desperate escape to China.

However, their bid for freedom - as new documentary Beyond Utopia reveals - is fraught. It’s a journey beset with hazards, covering 7,500 miles across three countries.

For the Roh family, whose story is one of two that director Madeleine Gavin tracks with real footage, their vulnerability as a couple, two daughters and grandmother is also perhaps their best hope.
