Aug 13, 2008 11:01

In 2006, Los Angeles and MD was privy to the airing of this S. Korean play, directed by a N. Korean refugee. Set in Yodok, the largest of the prison camps likened often to Auschwitz, the play follows the life of prisoners there. The Boston Globe interviewed the director who likens the play to Korea's Les Miserables.

This trailer was made available by Liberty in N. Korea, a nonpartisan, nonreligious nonprofit whose founder Adrian Hong was jailed in China (and then released) for his Underground Railroad activities.
