"Kimjongilia" Documents suffering North Korea Seeks to Hide

Human rights organizations say tens of thousands of North Koreans live in forced labor camps for political reeducation, where torture, starvation, and illness are commonplace. North Korean defectors say entire families are sent to the camps for tiny crimes such as humming a South Korean pop song. Now, a new film is bringing the stories of North Koreans who have escaped such camps to the screen. VOA's Kurt Achin reports

It's heart breaking. Thank you for this reporting of the movie. Yet there are so many communists around the world still seek to create an utopia similar to the one found in North Korea, or call this movie a lie without any proof of their own.

@stewartx5 Communists tortured and killed MORE human beings then all dictators and wars combined in the last 200 years. When they took over half the world, stormed down the historical sites and burnt them, tortured "capitalist" land owners and merchants, sent students to the country sides to work and die, and intentionally STARVED millions of their own people to die on the road side as part of their collective land reform.

You blamed it on "boycott."

You communist are such pieces of work.

What is all this "you guys" crap. I'm an American, moron, currently working for the military overseas. In fact, I've worked for the military (in some capacity - active, civilian, advisor, etc) most of my life. My father was in the military as well, with me growing up around the military. However, none of that changes the reality I've described. Regardless, we're getting nowhere, so I'll leave this with what has already been said.

@stewartx5 "The USA alone has invaded more countries in the last century then ALL the communist nations combined"

Wow, so now communist countries, combined murdering over 200 million between Russia and China, are now peaceful nations, and USA, is the evil imperialist.

But this goes to show why you guys always fail, because you can't face basic facts and re-adjust your lies..

@stewartx5 get real, you communists.

Your beloved mother Russian killed hundred millions in a 100 year of power grab. "Remained" within their border? Then how did the WHOLE of eastern Europe under communist rule, while they were actually independent until Russia came along?

How do you explain the WHOLE of China being in commie rule right after their invasion after WW2? How do you explain Cuban, Cambodia, Ukraine, Mongolia, among many other independent nations, invaded and occupied.

@newyorkairsoft

Get real. While the west (United States, UK, etc) has militaries spread around the world (invading countries, killing, maintaining occupations, imposing boycotts & blockaids, etc), the communist countries have mostly remained within their immediate neighborhoods. The USA alone has invaded more countries in the last century then ALL the communist nations combined. The west got wealthy as a result of that aggression, while the so-called "communist enemies" suffered as a result.

@stewartx5 The most prosperous of the communist countries, Russia and China, with half he worlds resources and FREE labor, suffered the MOST MASSIVE starvation ever known to man kind. In just 3 short years of collective policies, China's communist regime killed 20 million in starvation. That's just 3 years out of 60 years.

You, while enjoying the freedom in the west, are a mockery of all the people and their family who were tortured, raped, and killed off in forced labor "re-education" camps.
