Via
DocGeeks November 17th, 2012 Last December we reported on the
The Defector documentary while it was still being produced by the award-winning
Fathom Film Group. Their
kickstarter project achieved its funding goal on December 11, 2011 and the post production of this film was completed. Now this movie has been selected to premiere at the prestigious
International Documentary Festival of Amsterdam (IDFA). Filmed undercover by Korean-Canadian filmmaker
Ann Shin, this documentary will be showing at the IDFA from November 14-25. Shin had this to say about the film:
“The film has been 3 years in the making and we’re excited to be launching at IDFA” says Producer/Director Ann Shin. “It’s about a human smuggler who deals with desperate North Koreans wanting to escape."
Here is the new trailer for this movie:
The Defector: Escape from North Korea will also be released online as a first-person POV interactive web documentary. This will enable viewers to experience what it is really like to be a defector! This mixed media motion picture will also be shown at upcoming festivals and broadcast on TVO, Canal D and CTS in 2013.
