A harrowing documentary that bears witness to North Korean prison camp survivors, blending intimate testimony with propaganda imagery to expose systemic human rights atrocities.

The first film to fully expose the humanitarian crisis of North Korea, this stylish, deeply moving documentary is centered around astonishing interviews with survivors of North Korea's vast and largely hidden prison camps, and interspersed with archival footage of North Korean propoganda films and original art performances.
