Some remarkable television pictures have come to light of North Koreans overcoming extraordinary obstactles to escape their country and Olenka Frenkiel goes in search of the journalists who hid for months on end to film those attempting to flee.

In the brilliant sunlight of an icy February day, the camera takes us onto the frozen river.
A female figure lies, face down, hip raised in the classic pose of a reclining beauty, a North Korean woman - fully dressed - who fell while crossing.
Like a sculpture cast in bronze, nameless, iconic, she is a monument to all the fallen who went unfilmed, their deaths unremarked.
The Chinese guide who has brought the crew to see her has seen it all before.
He kicks her foot.
"Rock hard," he says and relieves himself nearby.
Her body lay there for three weeks until the ice melted and she was washed away.
