Crossing Heaven's Border

Based on this description in this article I really want to watch this documentary.

One snippet from the description, "One of the saddest things filmed here is the discussion between two sisters who meet just across the border in China. One is planning an escape to South Korea and a career, she dreams, as an actress and musician. The other sister now thinks of going back to the North lest she betray dictator Kim Jong Il, whom she reverently calls the Dear Leader. In vain her clear-eyed sister notes that Dear Leader has made millions of his subjects starve while he is well fed and fat. Oh, no, the brainwashed sister argues, he got that big stomach from working so hard and a lack of sleep. "
