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.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

The Telegraph by David Gritten
Wiese’s film is an efficient piece of work, competent as a film but blistering as an example of human rights advocacy.
It makes for truly sobering viewing that cuts to the quick, exposing the atrocities the country's government so willingly commits.
A challenging watch, steeped in numbing horror.
Time Out London by Tom Huddleston
It’s a remarkable story, but it’s undermined by some odd directorial choices.
