This is the incredible story of Shin Dong-hyuk – the only person born in a North Korean gulag ever to escape to freedom. A gripping, terrifying biography, Escape from Camp 14 by journalist Blaine Harden uncovers a dark and secret nation – now a major documentary film.
'This is a story unlike any other' Barbara Demick, author of Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea
Twenty-seven years ago, Shin Dong-hyuk was born inside Camp 14, one of five sprawling political prisons in the mountains of North Korea. Located about fifty-five miles north of Pyongyang, the labour camp is a 'complete control district' – a no-exit prison where the only sentence is life.
No one born in Camp 14 or in any North Korean political prison camp has escaped. No one except Shin. This is his story . .
