Memory of A PBS Docudrama/Korean Real Estate

My niece recently wrote me an email, asking me if I had any stories about her Grandmother, my Mom, who left us several years ago.  I wrote her back, relating several memorable tales.  One in particular:

When I was in my late teens, I moved into my own apartment. I came over to my parent's home one evening to do some laundry. My Dad was out, at his health club, playing cards.  My mom was lying in bed, doing her nails, watching TV.  I went to do my laundry, was talking on the phone at bit, then I turned on the TV in the living room while waiting for my clothes to dry.  There was a documentary on, must have been PBS, that I started to get into.  It was about a man flying over Korea during the Korean war.  He was either a Congressman or a Reporter.  I don't remember which.  Anyway, they ran into enemy fire and the plane was shot down.  The pilot was dead.  The man(either a pilot or congressman) got fragments in his eye and was blind.  He couldn't see and the plane had been shot down in enemy territory, in North Korea.  The man wandered about a bit in darkness.  Then, a little girl came over to him.  She was an orphan.  Her parents had died from all of the bombings.  She had survived but had no one.  Somehow, she understood that he was an American and needed to get to the American lines in South Korea. She took his hand and led him there.  It took several days and they had to hide at times from the North Korean soldiers, but she got him to an American troop in South Korea, just over the line.  The doctors immediately took him to operate to remove the metal from his eyes.  The operation was successful and he could see again.  He looked for the little girl who had saved him but couldn't find her.  Then, he was leaving to go home to the United States and just as he was stepping into the airplane, he saw her in the field.  He ran to her, grabbed her and took her with him into the plane.  He brought her back to America and adopted her.  When the documentary stated at the end, that he adopted her, I began to cry and went to tell my mom about this story that I was watching.  I went into my Mom's room and found her crying, too.  She had been watching the same show.

I never saw that show aired again.  I always wanted to know who it was about.  Are there any Realtors out there who were watching PBS 20 or so years ago?
