    Human Rights Watch Film Festival: Camp 14 - Total Control Zone

    9:30 PM

    In New York City at the Human Rights Watch Film Festival, a screening of Marc Wiese's Camp 14 - Total Control Zone, co-presented by the Dart Center.

    Camp 14 – Total Control Zone is a portrait of a young man who grew up imprisoned by dehumanizing violence yet still found the will to escape. Born inside a North Korean prison camp as the child of political prisoners, Shin Dong-Huyk was raised in a world where all he knew was punishment, torture, and abuse. Filmmaker Marc Wiese crafts his documentary by quietly drawing details from Shin in a series of interviews in which Shin's silence says as much as his words.
