CAMP 14 is a hard-hitting documentary about Shin Dong-Huyk, one of the many victims of the inhuman North Korean regime, giving a rare first-hand account of being born and raised behind barbed wire until his dramatic escape. He eloquently describes the brutal life in Camp 14, giving chilling accounts of inhumane living conditions, starvation, beatings, torture and execution of adults and children alike. Clever use of animation allows for some visualization of these events and as well as Shin talking to camera there are interviews with former Camp commanders and secretly filmed footage of brutal police interrogations. “Our sole purpose was to follow the rules of the work camp and then die. We knew nothing about the outside. All we knew was that our parents and our forefathers were guilty and that we had to work hard in order to make up for it.”
