Daniel Dae Kim and his production company 3AD have joined filmmaker Jeremy Workman as executive producers of the documentary School for Defectors. The film follows a small South Korean school where every student has escaped from North Korea.
Set at Jangdaehyun School, located in an industrial part of Busan, the documentary explores the lives of the students and the challenges they face after leaving the North.
Kim, best known for his roles in Lost and Hawaii Five‑0, is lending his name and production expertise to the project, which aims to shed light on the experiences of North Korean defectors in South Korea.
Workman’s film is expected to offer an intimate look at the educational environment that supports these former refugees, highlighting both their resilience and the ongoing difficulties they confront.
By bringing together a high‑profile actor and a dedicated production team, School for Defectors seeks to raise awareness of the unique stories of those who have fled the repressive regime of North Korea.
