VeryMuchSo Production and Koryo Tours in conjuction with Passion Pictures, BBC4 and ARTE. Dan Gordon (Director/Producer) Nicholas Bonner (Co-Producer). Our most ambitious documentary and the most amazing of stories... if this was fiction it would be unbelievable: CROSSING THE LINE is now available on DVD.
In the 1960’s, four US soldiers serving in the Korean Demilitarised Zone embarked on an extraordinary journey. At the height of the Cold War, this unlikely band of brothers crossed the most heavily fortified area on earth and defected to DPRK. No-one knew why they did it.

CENTRE FORWARD (1978) 2010 remastered by Koryo Tours
The country’s first football film originally made in 1978, now rereleased and remastered by Koryo Tours. This 75 minute film is well known in North Korea but has never been released internationally.
Fascinating both as an example of North Korean filmmaking and a strong story of overcoming athletic adversity, Centre Forward is at once inspirational, dramatic, amusing, and educational. Even better,by showing the sport’s importance in societies very different from our own, this illustrates the truly universal appeal of the 'beautiful game'.
" A gem of a film" - Simon Fowler, Time Out
The DVD is now for sale at 100CNY
