"Escape from Mogadishu" deals with a real-life defection incident between the two Korean embassies in Somalia back in the nineties that purports to explore the relevant motives behind the event. The material is similar in content to director Ryoo Seung-wan's 2013 film "The Berlin File", and also similar in historical setting to his last film, "The Battleship Island" from 2016.
"Escape from Mogadishu" is currently in the process of finalizing cast. Once that's been finished the movie is set to begin its location shooting in Morocco.
