"Shin Dong-Huyk was born on November 19, 1983 as a political prisoner in a North Korean re-education camp. He was a child of two prisoners who had been married by order of the wardens. He spent his entire childhood and youth in Camp 14, in fact a death camp. He was forced to labor since he was six years old and suffered from hunger, beatings and torture, always at the mercy of the wardens. He knew nothing about the world outside the barbed-wire fences. At the age of 23, with the help of an older prisoner, he managed to escape. For months he traveled through North Korea and China and finally to South Korea, where he encountered a world completely strange to him"A emotional roller caster of a documentary, the interviewee really seemed quite sad about re-telling his story at times. This documentary is for the ones who want an inside look of North Korea through a real life story of someone escaping a physical labor camp in the notorious country. The story is depicted in animation at times when he is telling his story at times, but the documentary was interesting to say the least. This film will open your mind and challenge what you believe. So I suggest you watch it with an open mind.
2.9/5
