In North Korea
This photo is taken in the main meeting room on the border between South and North Korea. We (the film crew) are actually standing a few feet into North Korea. The ROK soldier to our right is a Taekwon-do black belt. He is in the ready position prepared for possible aggression from the North Korean soldiers on the other side of the wall behind him. We were told by the corporal guiding us, “Do not touch him because he will touch you back!” Proof positive of the persistent tension in the DMZ. Our son, (rt) Josh Bashioum and production assistant, (middle) Ryan Bethea are pictured with me.
