Summary |
"This film reveals the extraordinary stories, told by survivors of North Korea's vast prison camps, of deadly famine, and of every kind of repression. Their experiences are interspersed with archival footage of North Korean propaganda films and original scenes that illuminate the contours of daily life for a people whose every action is monitored, and whose every thought could bring official retribution." -- Container. |
