Ten years ago on this date, January
2, 2005, Shin Dong Hyuk, a North Korean Prisoner, made his escape from Kaechon internment camp (Kwan-li-so No. 14). We, the comrades of Unit 1012, will post
several information about the German/South Korean Documentary film, ‘Camp 14:
Total Control Zone’, in order to educate people about the human rights
situation in North Korea. We also want to congratulate the director of the
film, Marc Wiese for his work.

Camp 14: Total Control Zone is a 2012 German/South
Korean documentary film directed by Marc Wiese. It features interviews with Shin Dong-hyuk who was born in the Kaechon internment camp (known as "Camp
14") in North Korea. The film details human rights abuses inflicted on him
and witnessed by him as prisoner there.
A German documentary, Camp
14: Total Control Zone, directed by Marc Wiese, was released in 2012. It
includes interviews with Shin Dong-hyuk and two former North Korean officers:
the first, Kwon Hyuk, was a guard in Camp 22 and
brought out amateur film footage (the only known footage of Camp 22), and the
second, Oh Yang-nam, was a secret policeman who arrested people who were sent
to camps. Supplementing the film are animated sequences of the camp created by
Ali Soozandeh.

Directed by Marc Wiese, Camp 14: Total Control Zone is more than a documentary, this amazing testimony leads us to the abyss of mankind, to dehumanization! The movie has very effectively used animation to recreate some of the incidents at the camp. There are also interviews with the perpetrators of the torture at the camp that are very chilling. It is a remarkable story by a very brave and courageous boy Shin Dong-hyuk who miraculously escapes life in Camp 14.

Born inside a North Korean prison camp as the child of political prisoners, Shin Dong-hyuk was raised in a world where all he knew was punishment, torture and abuse beyond imagination. After more than two decades of imprisonment, Shin escaped the camp in 2005 and subsequently became something of an international celebrity, touring Europe and North America to tell his story to human rights conferences and activist groups — but life on the outside proved to have its own challenges. Weaving intimate interviews with Shin together with anecdotes from a former camp guard and a member of the secret police, and interspersing them with brilliant animated sequences depicting key moments in Shin's life, Marc Wiese's fascinating documentary Camp 14: Total Control Zone is both a powerful story of survival and an evocative character study, showing the feelings of guilt, anger, remorse and complicity that are shared between both abused and abusers.
North Korea operates a network of political prison camps known as gwa-li-so, a word that strikes fear in North Koreans who know that the brutal forced labour, near-starvation rations, and abuse by prison guards means that being sent there is akin to a death sentence. With research based on testimonies of Shin and others who have managed to flee the country, Human Rights Watch is campaigning to establish a United Nations commission of inquiry to investigate crimes against humanity taking place in the gwa-li-so and other detention centres in the country.
