I've been interested in North Korea for years and have heard a few stories about people's escapes into China and then later resettling in South Korea. There's some good videos on YouTube about that. This one was different as Shin was born in a death camp and I'd never heard much of that experience before. It's incredible what this guy experienced in his life, and of course tragic too. Just today I happened to find the book Escape from Camp 14 in the library, so I'm guessing that will add more details to this remarkable story.

. The book had a lot of details that the movie didn't such as how Shin ripped his leg on the fence as he tried to escape. In the movie it didn't show that he had hurt himself while trying to escape besides from the guards. How i can prove this is that i've watched the movie before i read the book. The book has much more imagery and important details that the movie simply left out.

Story about dehumanisation. This guy is true hero. Ending is kind a sad and shocking. Hope future will deal with this and similar regimes. North Korea is Orwel's 1984 kind of nightmare.
