Crossing the Line

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
In 1962, an American soldier named James Joseph Dresnok defected from his post in South Korea and began a new life in the communist North. He went on to become the star of Kim Jong Il's propaganda films, and now he's allowed filmmaker Daniel Gordon to document his life as the only American currently living in North Korea.
