A Polish-made documentary about concentration camps in North Korea premiered in Gdansk, on the Baltic coast.
The film, by Andrzej Fidyk, received an award at this year's International Film Festival in Jerusalem, in the most prestigious category 'In the Spirit of Freedom' and is based on shocking accounts by several prisoners of the Yodok camp who managed to escape to South Korea. It is estimated that over 200,000 people, including women and children, are held in North Korean concentration camps.
Yodok Stories is a Polish-Norwegian co-production.
