Brave mother. I find her more impressive than her son. Going back and forth between China and North Korea for ten years ! Being in prison (twice), tortured, but never gave up. She has an incredible aura around her.
It amazes me still how so many people are so unaware about how dire the situation is in N. Korea and how their problems are nothing compared to the people that suffer over there.
idylle♡doll bamerica education system is a joke. I learned more out of school than in. All they teach is romanticized white history. Where they leave or polish up the bad parts :/ this is defo something schools need to learn!
LOADS of people are aware of the situation in north Korea but does that mean that their problems don't matter because they are not starving or escaping from their country? Or that we should not make small things a problem because there are people out there struggling more? There will ALWAYS be a person suffering more than you, maybe even more than the north koreans and you will still be unaware. That's the reality.
North Koreans are so strong and intent on surviving in one of the harshest places to live in the world. They put me to shame, and I've always considered myself a fighter.
This is the best and most accurate comment I've ever read. I consider myself a fighter also and I've suffered a lot mentally in my life, but I would live it again 20 times over than be a North Korean.
I truly adrime him ... and not only him - I admire all these people who had managed to escape. Their strenght is a big inspiration for all of us. We should never let fear stop us.
Tears rolling down my cheeks seriously, this makes me feel like one lucky bastard. People must think more about North Korea and the horrific things happen there. I feel blessed and bless Danny, beautiful man you are!! May your dreams come true, I wish you all the best in the world Danny! Most of all, thank you!!!!
I lived in communist Mongolia back in the 1980s before collapse of eastern bloc, I still live in Ulan Bator and there's much opportunity, I hope North Korea is liberated from its prison.
MajesticStoriesHD Mongolia is communist no more when Stalin died. The Mongolians now worship Genghis Khan because he gave the Mongols freedom, and defeated every Mongolian Enemy.
I just hope we don't become low wage workers who only have freedoms based on our money. I already see many divisions within the society even by now, and lots of corruption. I sincerely hope it doesn't go by that path. Whether or not the state is "democratic" or not if the system isn't working then things must change
Hi Danny, I am an old woman. I can ensure you that your Grandma is so happy in heaven watching you in freedom now. Us old ladies don’t care about our old generation who couldn’t do anything. We are focused on your generation. You are the future and we love the young hopeful people. Please make a good future for all of us.
i could just think about how his grandmother died alone , hungry , unable , breaks my heart how she had to die , am sure she never hated her daughter or grandson but she was shocked she was left out slowly dying . god i dont know what to say i keep thinking like this
2starw I can‘t believe she just happened to die when he escaped.. what a coincidence 🤔 They probably didn‘t want to tell him tha5 she got arrested and/or executed
Maybe she was holding on just for his sake and when she found out her grandson got away just as her daughter did, she could finally let go in piece. That's what I choose to believe anyway.
I know many stories ok NK 's defectors and found out many others grandmas ,even moms were left behind like that,of course not all of them died,but for sure happy for their loved ones to get freedom
I've been watching a lot of North Korean documentaries, but this one is on the top of the list of being powerful. It's amazing what a human being can endure, however, the strength that humans have to continue and fight on is by far more incredible. Lee Sung (Danny) is an inspiration. It hurts to think that people this very second are suffering in camps (like Yodok), from starvation, etc. I still hold hope that this terrible regime will end and end suffering. Suffering needs to end, there is no need for it. LiNK, Thank you for helping 204 people so far cross, you guys are amazing. I will always support you, Lee Sung, and the other refugees. I know people world wide are suffering, and we should attend to them all. Peace is possible.
What a beautiful film. Danny and his mother are so brave but Danny please don't even think about returning to North Korea, which will surely be far too dangerous for you?
Danny, you are brave young man. I have same name as yours and I was born in South Korea and came to United States many years ago. Seeing your history, I was very moved by your courage, and think how lucky to gain your freedom. Of course, as you were, I was once had great mother who guided me through hardship. I can only give you advice is to focus on what you have to do in this life and protect your freedom. I hope someday you have own family that enjoy the freedom and able to give back freedom to who have not able to feel not even one day in their life. I hope we see each other someday and talk about cost of freedom. I will pray for you and your mom. Love your mom. She has given you a world. Take good care of yourself.
I did too. I woke my wife up crying on the couch watching this. Very touching video and I AM SO GLAD that LiNK exists, and that they do what they do. I wish I could help them.
My grandson is of Korean decent and this young man reminded me of him, when this dear sweet boy was running across the frozen river, you know he had to be scared, cold, feeling so alone, I picture what if this was my grandson, I cried even harder! I’m so glad this young man made it to safety and I hope he has a wonderful life and I hope he finds a wonderful wife to share his life with. God is good.
Watching the reunion and fighting back tears. So so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I hope you're able to find peace in this next chapter in your life.
Your grandma is the happiest grandma in the world, knowing that her grandson is free and not hungry. She would be so happy, I know because I Am an old woman. If your grandson has a better life this is true happiness for Grandma’s soul. I hope you can live here without too much difficulty. It is hard to forget the good things about NK even though the bad things are many. I hope you and your mom do well here and glad you reunited. Never been to California but Seoul is fun. Love from Boston!
Thank you so much Danny to tell your inspirational heartfelt story of living in North korea^^ I cried when you mentioned what you would say to your Grandma and when you finally met your Mom (and I was even sick too which made me look horrible haha). My Grandma raised and took care of me while my mom was working and I was the only grandchildren to get taken care of and it took me around 8 years due to where my Grandma was living and I'm close with my parents especially with my mom. It hit me emotionally and now I am determined to also make a change to help the North Korean people, by raising awareness and fundraising to help donate to Link. I hope your doing well Danny same with your mom and all the best to you and your Photography because you have a talent with it :D Kahmsamnida
as you said in your comment，he is leader...... a leader of a country....... and you and me，ordinary people.... even can't enter north Korea...... if God had eyes，maybe he would do that for us soon or later
Beautiful ending! Ty for sharing! I'm so happy and proud of you and your mother!! God bless you both and your families and friends. I'm always praying for the ppl of north Korea, it's heartbreaking...
This film is a beautiful story of courage and determination. It is filmed beautifully and told beautifully. The music is also really lovely. I cried so much but also a lot of happy tears. Thankyou for sharing.
My heart went out to you young man but I am so sure that your grandma wouldn’t want you to be sad she would be more than happy to see that you are ok. Think of her when you can but don’t be too sad as one day you will see her again. Life’s too precious to let’s it waste and she is so proud of you. Bless you and your mum. 🌻🌻
Your grandmother is proud of you Danny. She knows you've grown into being a strong person, a good man. Your grandmother is watching over you, patiently awaiting the time when you will be reunited with her.
I'm so thankful to link...really glad link exists... he is just one of the many but even that one precious life saved means a lot.... hope you and your family have a brighter future ahead... you guys are really amazing courageous fighters
Danny, your story was so inspiring! I cried throughout your story! Good luck in the future. Your relationship with your mom is so cute very touching! Best wishes!
Hats off to the escapees who just seek for freedom and live their dreams! A very touching and amazing story! Wishing the escapees from NK all the best and live an unburdened life! This documentary is well made! Thank you for sharing!
Stories like this are so touching to me. My own family is struggling financially at the moment, but I find myself in tears every day wishing I could help the people of North Korea in some way. I find it such a shame that LiNK only has 7k subscribers. More people need to know what’s really going on there! I just wish the people of NK could know how much some of us care about them and how very much we would like to help.
This must be viewed by every one who really cares, not just for viewing sake but for the humanity of it. Danny is an inspiration to us all; It shows that freedom is not free, that we are not all free until all humanity stops this insane mistreatment of all people. God bless you all who help people like Danny and others just like him. Let me know what can I do to help too.
This was such a moving documentary. Very nicely made with such a heart breaking story. You're an inspiration, Danny. I'm SO glad you & your mother made it out of NK. Thank you for sharing your story!
There are times I get tired from studying 😭😭😭😭 This story motivated me on a different level. May God give you more strength brother and may God provide heaven to your grandmother. She sure is better now
So painful and hard to hear, yet so incredibly beautiful and humbling and inspiring. Thank you LiNK for your crucial work, and thank you Danny and your mother for sharing your stories. Your hopes and dreams make me hope that soon the day comes we cry less tears of sadness and more of happiness as families are reunited and freedom finally achieved on the Korean Peninsula.
I feel elated and heartbroken at the same time for Danny and his mum, I applaud their courage in the face of extreme hardship, but I can't help but to cry over his grandmother and others who are left behind. Such a mixed up emotional vid
I've wanted to watch this for ages now! but I missed the showing at Western Washington University so I wasn't able to see it! Thank you so much for uploading it! I love the organization and support it strongly! Thank you!!!
You are an inspiration to all of us. You are an amazing person. I was so touched watching the video. How hard it must be for you to know your family and friends are still there. I hope for one day when both Korea will be reunited.
This was so emotional. After watching this video I am honestly going to try my best to live as a better human and be kind to others. People in the world are really suffering so when I m done with college, I really want to be involved in donating to the less privileged.
Amazing story, amazing man! Keep up the good work shining your light on the world and helping others out of the darkness! Your grandmother rest assured, is looking down and beaming with pride!
Such beautiful done documentary. Felt like I was living through it. Still can't imagine the horrors. Danny and his mother are such loving and brave souls. May god bless them
I love stories, videos like this. Truly inspiring! Thank you :-) i would like to know what is happening to Danny and his mom(their relatives) these days, really hope they are doing good.
I am just over here ugly crying! I am so happy for Danny and his mama! My goodness this story touched my heart ❤️ i can only hope and pray the best for Danny and his mother
I say we trade Rodman for a NK family that wants and can appreciate freedom. He can stay there, and that family can have his fancy house(s). Seems like more than a fair tradeoff, don't you think?
TheGermanlady07 You wonder what kind of fantasy world Rodman lives in, that he doesn't know of the horrors being perpetrated every day upon the NK people by their leaders. How can an adult, living in America in this day and age be THAT ignorant? Mind boggling!
Hello. My name is Danny, too. And I am from The United States of America. I am grateful for those who made sacrifice of their labors, their blood and tears, so that someone else's child can have their Freedom. Freedom to travel, to own property and dispose of it as I choose. Freedom to make mistakes, recover, learn, and carry on for even more generations to have that Freedom which is rightfully theirs, should someone be willing to pay the price. I have one overarching question: how can I help to destroy the tyranny into which so many people sell their neighbors, even their own children?
For most of us we can never imagine what their life feels like. The importance to understand our daily blessings is a must. I applaud the courage of this mother and son 👏👏👏 thank you to the docs people for bringing this story to the world 🌍 keep up the great work. 🙏💕 Liberate them all. Everyone deserves to be free and live their lives safely. 👍🏻💕
Yves L Another Malaysian here. Been on a Marathon of videos on North Korea from the defectors' and pro-NK's views. Personally, I prefer the defectors' views as it gives a more accurate picture of NK.
HER MOTHER IS VERY STRONG WOMAN, FOR HOW MANY TIMES SHE WAS BRUTALLY HIT WHILE BEING CAUGHT BUT SHE NEVER GAVE UP SCAPING FROM NORTH KOREA UNTIL SHE WON LEAVING HER OWN COUNTRY FOR GOOD..GOD BLESS HER,DANNY AND THE WHOLE FAMILY WHO HAD SCAPE FROM NK COUNTRY..❤️❤️❤️
"Until all of us are free - none of us are." Wow. What a powerful note to end on. This story was so heartbreaking but so beautiful - the love between a Mother and son. The recognition of sacrifice. It was amazing. What extraordinary people.
My heart goes out to both of theses people and I just wanted to hold this boy and tell him he did the best he could, I cried thru the whole video, I’m so glad he and his mother are ok and safe in my country and their country now!
Brave mother. I find her more impressive than her son. Going back and forth between China and North Korea for ten years ! Being in prison (twice), tortured, but never gave up. She has an incredible aura around her.
She really is inspiring she never gave up
It amazes me still how so many people are so unaware about how dire the situation is in N. Korea and how their problems are nothing compared to the people that suffer over there.
Ignorance. Way to downplay to plight of people suffering right here at home.... while greedy pigs ask you to vote for them.
clueless moron.
Dunning Kruger yes ppl suffer but the SJW's and BLM think they know what real oppression is they have no idea
idylle♡doll bamerica education system is a joke. I learned more out of school than in. All they teach is romanticized white history. Where they leave or polish up the bad parts :/ this is defo something schools need to learn!
The problem is when you have to choose between... "thier' propaganda or "ours"... truth is always a victim.
LOADS of people are aware of the situation in north Korea but does that mean that their problems don't matter because they are not starving or escaping from their country? Or that we should not make small things a problem because there are people out there struggling more?

Lisette M. Your wrong they Are not strong
Uzumaki Naruto no.u wrong . They are strong ans brave
This is the best and most accurate comment I've ever read. I consider myself a fighter also and I've suffered a lot mentally in my life, but I would live it again 20 times over than be a North Korean.

U should watch camp 14 it rll shows how it can mentally change you ad a person and how difficult it is to adapt to normal society
What a beautiful film. Danny and his mother are so brave but Danny please don't even think about returning to North Korea, which will surely be far too dangerous for you?
Danny, your halmoni is very proud of you. She is dancing in paradise thinking of your freedom.
Since he changed his name and learn to speak in english/south korean slang.i think he will have lower risk there if he is careful enough
Danny, you are brave young man. I have same name as yours and I was born in South Korea and came to United States many years ago.

Heart touching story I cried after watching this...thank u link for helping those people
Yes! Thank you Link, with all my heart! God will bless you all! So many great, caring people in the world!
I did too. I woke my wife up crying on the couch watching this. Very touching video and I AM SO GLAD that LiNK exists, and that they do what they do. I wish I could help them.
The mother and grandmother are incredible. They gave up important things for Danny.
Such an amazing, well-made documentary. Thank you so much for sharing ❤
He and I are the same age...he's been through so much. My heart goes out to him and his mom.

it's like Kim Il-Sung got a hold of Orwell's 1984 and thought he'd give it a try.
ikr
George Orwell’s 1984 wasn’t a patch on Kim Il Sung it’s a dystopian nightmare
Orwell would be against him. Orwell was a socialist.

I cried after watching this, it hurts my heart badly. Could someone pls punish the fat leader for being inhuman to his people?
as you said in your comment，he is leader...... a leader of a country....... and you and me，ordinary people.... even can't enter north Korea...... if God had eyes，maybe he would do that for us soon or later
Corona virus for Kim?
Jeff in Jersey looks like he’s unwell now..
He is FAT coz he have all the ££££ and buy food only for himself and his family and STARVES His NATION!! EVIL dictator nazi fascist
@@ellahill6559 true 😂🤣
Stunning documentary. I have seen many about NK, however, seen through the eyes of an escapee made it so much more involving. Excellent.
I cried many times watching this. What an incredible story.
This production is great, rotoscopping looks amazing!
I had the nerves to complain about having to clean up my house and l need a maid.....so sorry
A really beautiful story and film. Thank you for sharing it.
Beautiful ending! Ty for sharing! I'm so happy and proud of you and your mother!! God bless you both and your families and friends. I'm always praying for the ppl of north Korea, it's heartbreaking...

This is profoundly heartbreaking for me, my tears started streaming down. 🥺😭
Please give my greetings and hugs to these North Koreans. Thank you!❤❤❤
You guys are truly inspirational! Never stop :)
that was put together very well, managed to hold back my tears....
Stories like this are so touching to me. My own family is struggling financially at the moment, but I find myself in tears every day wishing I could help the people of North Korea in some way. I find it such a shame that LiNK only has 7k subscribers. More people need to know what’s really going on there!

Way too early for this, I was not expecting to get so emotional and start crying from this film.
such an amazing video! i just wanna say we are so lucky and there are still many North Koreans live with struggling situation….
I stumbled upon this video, and i'm glad I did. Touching. Inspirational. Beautiful. I cried my eyes out, wonderfully put together.
*I'm so happy for you, Danny. I'm crying while watching this video. Live freely. Be happy. God bless you.*
Wow. This is heart breaking and inspiring. Loved the animation sort of thing during the story telling in the beginning.
I feel sorry for grandmother. She raised her daughter and her grandchild and was left alone to die from hunger and poverty.
There are times I get tired from studying 😭😭😭😭 This story motivated me on a different level. May God give you more strength brother and may God provide heaven to your grandmother. She sure is better now
So painful and hard to hear, yet so incredibly beautiful and humbling and inspiring. Thank you LiNK for your crucial work, and thank you Danny and your mother for sharing your stories.

Amazing story, amazing man! Keep up the good work shining your light on the world and helping others out of the darkness! Your grandmother rest assured, is looking down and beaming with pride!
Such beautiful done documentary. Felt like I was living through it. Still can't imagine the horrors. Danny and his mother are such loving and brave souls. May god bless them
It really broke my heart watching this.
Amazing documentary....well done....truly inspirational....
This made me cry !! I feel so bad and so happy for him and his mother !! I hope nothing but the best for them two !! Amazing story
I love stories, videos like this. Truly inspiring! Thank you :-) i would like to know what is happening to Danny and his mom(their relatives) these days, really hope they are doing good.
That was a beautiful documentary. I hope that you can follow your dreams Danny and become a great photographer. Thanks for sharing your story.
God bless you. God bless you in every single way.
Feels....so much feels. This has to be one of the most amazing/touching stories I’ve ever heard.
I am just over here ugly crying! I am so happy for Danny and his mama! My goodness this story touched my heart ❤️ i can only hope and pray the best for Danny and his mother
And to think that Dennis Rodman loves their leader. Just throwing that out there.
I say we trade Rodman for a NK family that wants and can appreciate freedom. He can stay there, and that family can have his fancy house(s).
Seems like more than a fair tradeoff, don't you think?
I totally agree!
TheGermanlady07 You wonder what kind of fantasy world Rodman lives in, that he doesn't know of the horrors being perpetrated every day upon the NK people by their leaders.
How can an adult, living in America in this day and age be THAT ignorant?
Mind boggling!
das muss man den zeigen, in dieser hinsicht ist er sehr eigen, obwohl er ein begnadeter basketball spieler war
Translation: This must be shown, in this regard he is very own, although he was a gifted basketball player
Hello. My name is Danny, too. And I am from The United States of America. I am grateful for those who made sacrifice of their labors, their blood and tears, so that someone else's child can have their Freedom. Freedom to travel, to own property and dispose of it as I choose. Freedom to make mistakes, recover, learn, and carry on for even more generations to have that Freedom which is rightfully theirs, should someone be willing to pay the price.
I have one overarching question: how can I help to destroy the tyranny into which so many people sell their neighbors, even their own children?
What an amazing story. Human will to survive is so strong. Bless you and your family.
For most of us we can never imagine what their life feels like. The importance to understand our daily blessings is a must. I applaud the courage of this mother and son 👏👏👏 thank you to the docs people for bringing this story to the world 🌍 keep up the great work. 🙏💕 Liberate them all. Everyone deserves to be free and live their lives safely. 👍🏻💕
It hits me right into my heart at 22:00
I don't know if some of the Malaysians are aware about this NK issue... but here, my prayer is with you.
Yves L Another Malaysian here. Been on a Marathon of videos on North Korea from the defectors' and pro-NK's views. Personally, I prefer the defectors' views as it gives a more accurate picture of NK.
HER MOTHER IS VERY STRONG WOMAN, FOR HOW MANY TIMES SHE WAS BRUTALLY HIT WHILE BEING CAUGHT BUT SHE NEVER GAVE UP SCAPING FROM NORTH KOREA UNTIL SHE WON LEAVING HER OWN COUNTRY FOR GOOD..GOD BLESS HER,DANNY AND THE WHOLE FAMILY WHO HAD SCAPE FROM NK COUNTRY..❤️❤️❤️
