"Crossing" is the saddest movie I have ever watched. It is about a family in North Korea. The mother gets sick and the only possibility of obtaining medicine is to cross over to China. So the father tries to do it leaving his son and wife behind, and one sad thing after another happens-- I don't want to spoil it for you-- you can watch it here.
I think the saddest part of it is that there are real people who have and do experience some of the things portrayed in the movie as part of their life. It is so sad to see, but it also helps me see the world differently. It gave me a better understanding of North Korea and what it is like there. Even though it is sad, it is worth watching.

I read a book about North Korean defectors last year and it is absolutely mind-boggling how bad conditions are in that country. The book was called Nothing to Envy.
