About The Seoul Sisters:
This documentary explains the plight of North Korean refugees and how they escape their country, a close look at the crisis on the Korean peninsula and an even closer look inside of the world's most reclusive state, North Korea.

The communist country, while about the size of Mississippi, boasts one of the world's largest armies and a large nuclear arsenal, threatening to arch enemies, such as the United States. In the past year, tensions on the Korean peninsula have increased greatly. After two attacks on South Korea, the Korean peninsula seems to be on the brink of war.

Behind all of the governments, there are people suffering from a decade-long famine and being trafficked across the Chinese border and sold to Chinese men for a mere $250.
