    VeryMuchSo Production and Koryo Tours in conjuction with Passion Pictures, BBC4 and ARTE. Dan Gordon (Director/Producer) Nicholas Bonner (Co-Producer). Our most ambitious documentary and the most amazing of stories... if this was fiction it would be unbelievable

    In the 1960â€s, four US soldiers serving in the Korean Demilitarised Zone embarked on an extraordinary journey. At the height of the Cold War, this unlikely band of brothers crossed the most heavily fortified area on earth and defected to DPRK. No-one knew why they did it.

    For nearly 40 years their life was hidden from the outside world.

    Not even the US government knew their fate.
    Only one remains in DPRK.
    This is his story.
