Shin Dong-Huyk was born on November 1983 as a political prisoner in a North-Korean re-education camp. He spent his entire childhood and youth in Camp 14, which was actually a death camp. From the age of six, he was subjected to forced labor, hunger, beatings and torture. He thought everybody lived that way. With the help of an older prisoner, he succeeded in escaping at the age of 23. For months he journeyed through North Korea and China and finally to South Korea, where he encountered a world completely strange to him. The documentary portrays Shin’s life, with CGI animation also helping to bring his memories to life.
