SYNOPSIS
SYNOPSIS
A suspenseful and riveting portrait of the lengths people will go for freedom, BEYOND UTOPIA raises the curtain on life in North Korea as no film has done before. Madeleine Gavin’s acclaimed documentary unfolds like a real-time geopolitical thriller as it follows the efforts of a devoted pastor whose underground network serves as the only hope for North Koreans desperate to escape a life of oppression and to embrace a new world of freedom.
