The most dangerous border in the world is the one their own government guards against them.

Step onto the Korean Demilitarized Zone, the most militarized line on the planet, a silent testament to a war that never officially ended. Observing the sheer desperation reveals a powerful truth: roughly one thousand souls each year dare to cross this lethal boundary, driven by an unquenchable thirst for a different life. The gravity of their decision is amplified by the horrifying reality that their own nation actively seeks their demise during the escape attempt. This look into the ultimate gamble for freedom is absolutely arresting.
