Sending the Orphans Back is a documentary about a brother and sister orphaned during the Korean War. In telling this story of one orphan’s courageous journey, we hope to make real the plight of orphans around the world today.
Haeja and her young brother Jong Bok were orphaned during the Korean War. They spent a terrifying year traveling from the North to the South of Korea, to what they thought would be the safety of an orphanage.
This is the first time they have ever revealed all the details of this captivating journey. Including things they have never even told each other. We follow them as they journey back to Korea for the first time since leaving 50 years ago.
Thousands of North Koreans today experience a similar journey as Lindsay’s Mom. Making their way through a modern day underground railroad, they escape North Korea and travel thousands of miles by foot/boat/bus/etc to find freedom. Along the way, women and children are often exploited, sexually trafficked, separated and abandoned.
