CROSSING THE LINE

An “unforgettable documentary” (New York Daily News), Crossing The Line is the “absolutely fascinating” (Hollywood Reporter) story of James Joseph Dresnok, a US Army private who in 1962 stunned the world by walking across the violently contested DMZ that cuts Korea in two and defecting to the communist North. 

“Comrade Joe”, as Dresnok came to be known, tells his story – from an appalling childhood in a rural 1950s Virginia foster home, through Army service at the height of the Cold War to acceptance in North Korea playing evil Americans in Kim Jong Il’s personally produced propaganda films.

Crossing The Line “makes an already compelling story even more so” (Hollywood Reporter) by intimately revealing a character “worthy of Werner Herzog’s delusional hero-victims” (New York Sun) and completes VeryMuchSo’s trilogy of North Korean documentaries.
