Itinerary of a Rebel

Synopsis: Documentary about a North Korean labourer called Han, who accepts a job as a lumberjack in a camp situated in Siberia, as part of a labour scheme operated between the North Korean government and Russian entrepreneurs. When Han finds out that none of his wages have reached his wife, he escapes and crosses the whole of Siberia in order to reach Moscow, where he plans to reach a Western embassy.
