Abduction (2007)
Abduction (2007) is a documentary movie about a 13-year-old Japanese girl abducted by North Korean spies. Megumi was just 13-years-old on that dark night in November 1977 when she was plucked from the streets not far from her home. Decades later, her parents discover the bizarre truth–their daughter was abducted by North Korean spies, and was part of an espionage plot to kidnap Japanese civilians to use them as language trainers for the North Korean military. Megumi’s parents, an ordinary banker and housewife, get caught up in an extraordinary international conflict; their personal tragedy lies at the center of one of today’s most talked-about, most emotionally charged human rights and political crises in the East. Told deliberately in true-crime style and using exclusive footage, the filmmakers weave a tale of suspense, espionage and ultimately, love. The film also illuminates the direct impact the abduction issue has on Americans, as audiences discover that the abduction of this little girl unexpectedly affects the highest levels of U.S. nuclear negotiations with North Korea.
