Today in North Korea, in the 21st century, over 300,000 men, women and children languish in Nazi-style concentration camps. They are routinely subjected to torture, rape, beatings and starvation. Most, even young children, will never leave. One of the largest camps is Yodok. For obvious reasons there is no way of filming from inside the concentration camps, so how to make a creative documentary with no access proved to be a major challenge for this production. Andrzej Fidyk’s solution was to find North Korean defectors living in South Korea and among them the very few who had actually escaped from Yodok. He inspired them to bring their story forward and together they created and produced a large broadway style musical about life in the concentration camp. Through this project the participants were able to suppress their fear and share their stories with the camera. In a society where the North Korean defectors are looked upon with great suspicion, the production surprisingly became a big success.
