As civil war rages in Somalia, rival North and South Korean diplomats are left trapped. With no aid from either government, their best chance for survival may depend on a perilous escape. Korea’s submission for the Best International Feature nomination at the 2022 Academy Awards, Escape from Mogadishu is based on a dramatic true story.
