Crossing the Line

Crossing the Line (2006) is a documentary that tells the remarkable story of James Dresnok, a U.S. soldier who deserted his unit during the Korean War and defected to North Korea. The film follows Dresnok as he recounts his childhood, his decision to desert, and his life in North Korea, where he became a star of the communist state's propaganda machine. With exclusive access to Dresnok and his family, the documentary offers a rare glimpse into life in North Korea and raises questions about the truth behind Dresnok's story. Narrated by Christian Slater, Crossing the Line was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.
